The Vortex Coronary Bypass Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high. Shape the ground chuck into four 6-ounce burger patties and set aside.
• Toast the buns on the grill. Place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on each bottom bun. Set aside.
• Season the burger patties with salt and pepper, and then grill. After flipping the patties, top each with a spoonful of Chipotle Onion, followed by a spoonful of Spicy Chile Pepper Medley, a squirt of Chipotle Ketchup and a slice of pepper jack cheese. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is slightly melted.
• Scoop the patties onto the bottom buns. Top each with two slices of bacon and a spoonful of Habanero Relish. Slather the top buns with Sriracha Mayo and place on top of the burgers.
• Saute the red onions in the olive oil until soft. Stir in the chipotle puree and cook for 1 minute. Add the chardonnay and cook, stirring, for another minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pan fry the jalapenos, serranos and habaneros in the olive oil until soft. Let cool for 10 minutes, then peel off the skins. Slice the chiles lengthwise and mix together.
• Mix the ketchup, chipotle puree and salt and pepper to taste until fully blended.
• Pulse the habaneros and garlic in a food processor until coarsely chopped, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pulse until blended and finely chopped. Add the cilantro sprigs and pulse until cilantro is coarsely chopped.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Form the ground sirloin into 4 (8-ounce) patties. Over an open-flame, grill each burger to desired temperature. While the patties are grilling, cook bacon until desired crispness, and set aside.
• Butter both sides of each bun and grill until toasted. On each of the 4 bottom buns, place the burger, followed by the blue cheese spread, mushrooms, and bacon, in that order. On each of the top 4 buns, place the lettuce, tomato and red onion, in that order. Top with any additional condiments desired, sandwich the 2 sides, and serve.
• Combine both ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours prior to use.
• Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and saute until tender. Add wine and simmer for 1 minute or until almost evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.
