Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chuck beef, 80/20 blend
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt (for onions)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (about 50 g)
  • 4 brioche burger buns, toasted
  • Leafy lettuce or arugula (optional)
  • Tomato slices (optional)
  • Pickles (optional)
  • Mayonnaise or aioli (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramelized onions: Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat and cook slowly, stirring every 5-7 minutes for 25-30 minutes. Add brown sugar halfway through if using. Onions should be soft, glossy, and golden brown but not burnt.
  2. Form the burger patties: In a bowl, combine ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix lightly. Divide into four equal portions (~4 oz each). Shape each into a ¾ inch thick patty with a shallow dimple in the center.
  3. Cook the patties: Preheat cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties 3-4 minutes on first side until crust forms. Flip and cook another 3 minutes for medium-rare or longer to desired doneness. In last minute, sprinkle blue cheese on patties and cover to melt.
  4. Toast the buns: While patties cook, toast brioche buns until golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise or aioli on bottom bun if using. Add lettuce or arugula, then blue cheese-topped patty. Spoon caramelized onions on top, add tomato slices and pickles if desired. Cap with toasted top bun and press gently.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Do not overwork the meat to keep patties tender. Use a hot pan for a good crust. Make a dimple in the patty center to prevent puffing. Cook to medium-rare or medium for juiciness. Let patties rest after cooking. Caramelize onions low and slow for best sweetness. Use creamy blue cheese for melting.
