Wagyu Beef Burger with Caramelised Onions Recipe

How To Prepare Wagyu Beef Burger with Caramelised Onions?

Ingredients:

• 3 Wagyu Beef Burger

• 3 Brioche buns

• salt

• fresh ground black pepper

• 4 tablespoons butter divided

• 3 slices White Cheddar

Red Wine Caramelized Onions

• 1 large sweet onion

• ½ tablespoon butter

• ½ tablespoon cooking oil

• 2 tablespoons red wine

• Salt

Roasted Garlic Aioli

• 4 cloves garlic

• ⅓ cup Mayo

Instructions:

1. Spread butter onto the inside of the top & bottom bun slice & lightly toast, butter side down, in 12\ pan on medium heat until the cut side of the bun develops a crispy, toasted, exterior. Turn off the heat once done & remove the buns and set aside.
2. Season each side of the patty liberally with salt & pepper. Add enough butter to coat the bottom of a cast-iron pan heated to medium high & gently place in the beef burgers once it has melted.
3. Once in the pan, do not move the beef burgers, or squash the meat. After ~2 minutes of cooking, flip each beef burger & add a slice of cheese to the top of the patty while the burger finishes cooking. Remove from the skillet while burgers are rare, or medium rare (~125 degrees).
4. Place patty on toasted bun slathered with roasted garlic aioli, & topped with caramelized onions.

Red Wine Caramelized Onions (Prepare in advance)

1. Slice ends off of onions, cut in half & then cut into strips.
2. Add butter & oil into frying pan & heat to medium low.
3. Add onions & salt to taste.
4. Cook 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until onions are brown & sticky.
5. When onions are caramelised deglaze the pan with red wine & stir liquid into onions. Remove onions from pan & set aside, keeping warm.

Roasted Garlic Aioli (Prepare while onions caramelize)

1. Roast garlic cloves in oven pre-heated to 375 for 30 minutes, or until cloves are soft to the touch. Check regularly to ensure they do not overcook.
2. Smash the cloves into a paste & mince with knife to ensure they are fully separated.
3. Mix with mayo & set aside.
