Grilled Steak Burgers With Caramelized Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Tangy Caramelized Onions:
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 30 seconds. Add Worcestershire and vinegar, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan. Stir in butter and brown sugar and continue to cook, adding water by the tablespoonful if skillet starts to dry out, until onions are completely softened and caramelized, 15-20 minutes more. Add 1 Tbsp. water and cook, scraping up brown bits, until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Let cool.
• Make the Herb Butter:
• Cook vinegar and shallot in a small skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vinegar has reduced and skillet is almost dry, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Place butter and salt in a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash shallot mixture into butter until incorporated. Gently fold in tarragon or parsley. Chill until ready to use.
• Make the burger:
• Divide ground steak into 4 portions. Shape into 4"-wide, 3/4"-thick, loosely packed patties. Make a small indentation in the center with your thumb to help keep it flat as it grills. Chill until ready to use.
• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; generously oil grates. Generously season patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill, indented side down, until lightly charred on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. Flip, top with cheese, and continue to grill to desired doneness, 2-3 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer burgers to a platter and let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grill buns until toasted, about 30 seconds. Generously spread cut sides of bun with Herb Butter, if using. Top each bottom bun with lettuce, patty, and 3 Tbsp. caramelized onions, then close burgers.
• Do Ahead
• Onions can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill. Butter can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring both to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• For the caramelized onions: Add the butter, onions and a pinch of salt to a medium saute pan. Place the pan on the indirect heat side of the grill and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are tender and deeply caramelized, about 1 hour. When ready, remove from the grill and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the beef and chorizo. Divide the mixture evenly between 8 deli container lids. Flatten the meat into each lid to create an even disk. Pop the 8 meat disks out of the lids. Add the cheese to the center of 4 of the meat disks, then top with the remaining 4 meat disk and seal the edges.
• Preheat a large cast-iron pan on the direct heat side of the grill. Season both sides of the burgers with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Place the burgers in the pan and immediately smash them with a spatula. Cook the burgers for about 2 minutes per side. Remove the burgers from the grill. Spread the mayo on the burger buns and toast them the indirect heat side of the grill.
• To build: To each bun, add some caramelized onions, a burger, the condiments of your choice and cilantro. Serve!

Steps:

• In a medium skillet melt butter over medium-low heat.
• Add onions and garlic.
• Cook, covered, for 13-15 minutes or until onions are tender.
• Add brown sugar and salt.
• Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat 4-5 minutes or until onions are golden brown, stirring constantly.
• Meanwhile, cut meat into 4 serving-size pieces.
• Sprinkle pepper on both sides of each meat piece.
• Place on the unheated rack of a boiler pan.
• Broil 3 inches from the heat to desired doneness, turning once.
• (Allow 10-12 minutes for medium rare.) Stir vinegar into onions.
• Spoon onion mixture over steak.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Cook onions and sugar in hot oil over low heat 20 to 25 minutes until onion is caramelized, stirring often. Stir in the 1/4 cup water, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Set aside and keep warm.
• Combine beef, parsley, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties.
• Grill over medium-hot heat until beef is no longer pink.
• Serve on buns with caramelized onions, tomato slices and lettuce.
