Roma Tomatos

Red Onion

DIRECTIONS

Great Burgers always start with fresh ingredients. Nothing to complicated. Just organic produce, high quality meat, and a few tricks along the way to make your Burger special.

 

In a large bowl place your ground beef and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands to ensure an even seasoning.

( Course Ground Black Pepper and Sea Salt are ideal for burgers)

Slice your onion and tomatoes to the desire thickness and reserve the largest little gem leaves to the side for your burger. Keep the smaller leaves for a tasty side salad!

 

Make 4 QUARTER POUND PATTIES and place in the fridge for about 5 minutes. I like to let my burger patties set up before i throw them right into the pan.

 

Heat your cast iron skillet and add a tablespoon of unsalted butter and about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. The butter is for flavor and I find that it helps with the SMOKE POINT of the olive oil so it does not burn to fast. 

 

Cook each patty for 2-3min per side for a medium burger.

I love pepper jack cheese but you can use munster, cheddar, smoked gouda, or motz!

 

Most will tell you that Brioche Buns are the best vessels for a burger. I disagree. I grew up eating Potato Rolls and they hold up well to saucy, cheesy Burgers. Brioche  is tasty but not  so great once it gets wet. Don't forget to toast your buns! A toasted bun is THE MOST IMPORTANT trick of the trade when making any HOT SANDWICH. The "crunch factor" is a familiar and enjoyable quality characteristic everyones palate can appreciate.

 

Enjoy.
