Wine Steamed Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix all the patty ingredients by hand. Continue to mix and knead for about 5 minutes. I prefer the lamb/bison meat mixture. When using the lamb, I recommended being a little heavy handed with the Chinese Five Spice.
• Make the patties to your desired thickness and set on a plate.
• In a large sauce/frying pan, place your steaming ingredients. When the butter has melted on a low to medium heat, place in your patties. Place a lid or tin foil the pan.
• Cook on low medium, completely covered. The slower they cook, juicier they are. Flip over once, during cooking. Completely cover and always have liquid in the pan.
• When cooked to your desired doneness, medium rare for me, medium well for my husband, turn off heat. Leave in juice until plated. When using pork in your mixture, cook well done.
• I recommend as the condiment of choice, either tomato jelly or a mixture of half lingonberry jam/ half mayonnaise (short version). Plate as you would with your favorite garden leaf lettuce, melted mild cheese, a few leaves of fresh basil, and fresh tomatoes. (I love these with Black Krim from my garden!)
• Remember to save the steam mixture and pan drippings to add to your next soup stock.

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients for burgers together and shape into patties. The patties will be a bit moist.
• 2. Place the steaming ingredients in a large frying pan. Bring to a simmer and place patties in the liquid. Place a lid on the pan and let the patties steam on medium low heat.
• 3. Cook to desired doneness flipping once during cooking.

Steps:

• divide ground beef in half and form into 2 six ounce patties.
• season with seasoning salt and pepper to your liking.
• place a metal rack in the bottom of the frying pan.
• add water to a level just below the rack.
• heat water on high heat until water begins to steam, reduce heat to medium.
• place burgers on rack and cover.
• steam for about 10 minutes.
• top with cheese, cover and steam an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute or until cheese is melted.
• top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Steps:

• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
• IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
• Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

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.
