Ingredients
For The French Onion Burger
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 hamburger buns
- 3 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup arugula
For The Garlic Sauce
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Make the French Onion Topping:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter.
- Add the sliced onions and sauté them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they become caramelized and brown.
- Stir occasionally until they reach a deep golden brown color.
- Pour in the beef broth, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Season the caramelized onions with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Sauce:
- In a large tall mixer base, mix garlic and egg until foamy. Then keep mixing while carefully adding olive oil until a creamy texture forms.
- Set aside.
Grill the Burgers:
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Season ground beef with spices and divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and form them into burger patties.
- Grill the burger patties to your desired level of doneness, typically 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. During the last minute of cooking, add a portion of the caramelized onion mixture and some Gruyère cheese on top of each patty. Cover the grill to allow the cheese to melt.
Assemble the Burgers:
- Spread a generous amount of the garlic sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place the French Onion Burger on top of the sauce, arugula and then top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve your French Onion Burger with fries, and enjoy!
