My favourite trick when caramelising onions for different recipes is to aggressively caramelise the onions and then add red wine (preferably dry, because there is already enough sweetness in the onions) and reduce. I do it for every burger and every pizza and it is unbelievably delicious.

oh yay! Excited to try a new bun recipe

Awesome recipe - I've made some experiments myself, specifically because I always got heartburn after eating burgers. I got exceptional good results with 3 specific spices that I use for the meat and sauce (learned that from japanese and korean chefs) which are fennel, tumeric and galangal (or ginger). Not only does galangal/ginger have the ability to highlight meat and savory flavors, but it also helps your stomach. Tumeric and fennel also calm the stomach and prevent hyperacidity while not having too much impact on the overall flavor if you use them for a burgersauce /mayo.

Absolutely delicious!

Here in Brazil we have this tomato every single season :) Thanks God

Good tips! It going to change my burger game!

That looks like an amazing burger. I went through a stage in my mid to late 20s when I swore off beef. Now that you mention it, that was about the same time my metabolism was changing as well so that probably had something to do with it. Before I turned 35 I was back in big time with beef, and I definitely agree - know where your beef is sourced. I get all my beef from a butcher who knows all the farmers that his grow his beef. I'm also fortunate that I live in an area where some locally owned restaurants turn out some amazing burgers.

​@@KRYMauL I would say the fundamental issue is that big business took over farming and gave us industrial farming with low standards. This wiped out a lot of family farms or converted them to big business practices. Soil health on most farms giving us our food is really horrible and even people selling at farmers markets may not have great practices, which leads to less tasty food. For example, it is common for eggs to be marketed as "chickens raised on a vegetarian diet" as if that is a selling point. Chickens are not herbivores, though. Their eggs and meat are far tastier when they have a diet that includes freely foraging for insects. In Europe, you can find good quality food in supermarket chains because the standards for large-scale farming are generally higher. At least in the US there are farmers catching on, but the trick is to figure out how to find them and order from them.

"You never have to add additional sugar to caramelized onions..." Thank you for this little tip!!! I can't believe how many caramelized onion recipes tell people to add sugar to the onion in order to "bring out" the natural sweetness from the onions. The sugar's not actually coaxing out any more natural sweetness from the onion, it's making under-browned onions taste sweeter, and it's done simply as a time-saver.

@thiagopereira1664

2 жыл бұрын

Caramelized onions take a lot of time to caramelize and the excuse for sugar is to save time when you own a restaurant, but as you can see, you can make this recipe and save it for later, I think that is what restaurant owners should do, I would never use sugar to make caramelized onions.

I've been making some amazing burgers with store bought ingredients after a lot of experimentation. I start with a big Martins sesame bun and I leave the two buns connected so when I eat the burger nothing falls out the end. So far the best American cheese I've found is Land O Lakes from the deli. I alternate between frozen patties and freshly ground beef but i make a sauce with a small amount of ketchup, a 3x more mustard, a bunch of mayo, a bit of pickling juice, and cayenne pepper to desired spice level. The result is a burger that I prefer over all fast food chains

I personally always favour raw onion, or just lightly grilled one. Also one of the best sauces is just homemade mayo with Korean chili paste. And if you want to go super fancy, make some unami ketchup to go with it on other bun. I regularly make smash cheese burgers with those condiments, then I just add onion, pickles and rucola.

Totally. When I go out for food in a restaurant or McDonalds, i always feel very sluggish and sometimes achy from eating burgers.

Similar with the buns, supermarket and restaurant buns are always packed with preservatives and never taste fresh and clean.

Pro tip: try not salting your patties until just before cooking them. Found this tip on Seriouseats and results were great. If you're looking for some extra freshness, try making garlic sour cream (or better creme fraiche): really easy and delicious on a burger. Also, salting your tomato works wonders. Great video!

Just wondering if the long salt cure causes the patty to get a bit sausage-like in texture? We keep getting told by the burger aficionados that we need to salt our burgers late in the cooking process so that they don't bind and remain crumbly on the bite. I personally don't mind a bit of sausage-like snap in a burger patty but usually mix in a little salt during shaping. Am wondering whether your technique might be the best of both worlds. They certainly look on the money.

It's the cure, but also the way he ground and then mixed it. His meat was way too soft when it passed through the grinder, and then he overmixed it and pressed it into the mold, and again to spread it out. For your burger to have a less sausage-like texture you gotta treat it much more loosely: 1. Make sure your meat spends at least 30 mins in the freezer before it goes into the grinder. 2. Add your cubes of meat in randomized order into the grinder. Don't go one type at a time. Let the grinder mix it for you. 3. Use the coarsest setting on your grinder. 4. Form the patties by gently pressing them into shape, while also trying to keep it as loose as you can. 5. Don't use anything except salt on your burger. Black pepper will burn during the sear, and that's not very tasty. You can add some right before you top it with cheese, that's a great window.

about 4/5 years agoi picked up an old oster stand mixer from 1982, it had a meat grinder attachment with it so now in the mornings around 10 am i go to local SM and pick up marked down briskets, short ribs, etc and use them for grinding burgers and they are far better than the high dollar pre made patties they sell or any burger meat by far, if you can afford it, get you a meat grinder and grind your own meat, you wont regret it.

Those onions look absolute boss

Video idea. If we eat seasonally, what's good food to make in the winter time? I live in the upper midwest and I don't think there is much in season in the winter months other than root vegetables.
