Steakhouse Burger

May 12, 2017

I didn’t know what else to name it.

It just felt…right.

Here’s the rundown of this beautiful thing –

Medium rare ground sirloin burger adorned with melted white sharp cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, sauteed mushrooms, beer battered onion rings and a tangy ass steak sauce nestled in between two homemade garlic butter buns.

Now, what would you call it?

It’s meaty, cheesy, bacony, and messy as all hell.

Welcome to #burgermonth – the brainchild of Kita Roberts, who so brilliantly started the blog Girl Carnivore “Because boys aren’t the only ones who like to play with their meat“.

I mean…she and I have to be kindred spirits. The girl definitely knows what the hell she’s doing.

If you know me, you know I welcome a good burger challenge. I ADORE making burgers.

Here’s your printable-

Steakhouse Burger

Ingredients

This dough
1/2 stick salted butter, melted
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
1 yellow onion, sliced thick
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cold beer
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper
Sunflower oil, for frying
4 strips bacon, cooked
Cabot Seriously Sharp White Cheddar
A1 steak sauce (or your favorite steak sauce)
1lb mushrooms
1 stick butter
2 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine
1 pound ground sirloin
2 tbsp Moore's original marinade

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Make the dough; form into 4 bun halves.
Combine melted butter, garlic, Parmesan and parsley; brush on dough. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
Combine flour through pepper in a mixing bowl; dip each onion slice in mixture and bring oil over 350 heat. Fry each onion slice and drain on paper towels; set aside.
In a saute pan over medium heat, add mushrooms through red wine; when bubbling reduce heat to medium low and let simmer until most moisture has reduced. Remove from heat and cover.
Combine ground sirloin and Moore's, form into two burgers and fry or grill until desired doneness (I like mine medium rare to medium); add cheese and cover until melted.
Assemble by adding burger on bottom half bun, bacon, mushrooms and onion rings. Drizzle with steak sauce.
Serve.
