Product(s):

AUSTRALIAN PREMIUM WAGYU BEEF BURGER (150G)

Preparation Time: 10 mins / Cook Time: 45 mins / Serving: 3

Ingredients:

3 x AUSTRALIAN PREMIUM WAGYU BEEF BURGER (150G)
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

Method:

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.

Now build the beef burger toping with the onions & garlic & the top of the bun & serve with you favourite chips & salad.
