Hamburgers with Cabernet and Sauteed Onions
This hamburger recipe is SO DELICIOUS! Juicy beef infused with Cabernet and topped with sweet caramelized onions for a gourmet twist on a classic favorite.
Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Meat Thermometer
- Grill or Grill Pan
Ingredients
- 4 Medium Onions chopped
- 0.5 cup Butter for sautéing
- 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
- 1 pound Lean Ground Sirloin
- 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2 teaspoons Celery Salt
- 2 teaspoons Dry Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 8 Hamburger Buns your favorite type
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef and ground sirloin. Pour in the Cabernet Sauvignon, then add celery salt, dry mustard, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Gently mix until just combined.
- Divide the meat mixture into eight equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach desired doneness (160°F internal temperature recommended).
- Toast the hamburger buns. Place a burger patty on the bottom half of each bun, top generously with sautéed onions, then finish with the top bun. Add additional toppings if desired.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat to keep burgers tender.
- Make a slight indentation in patties to prevent puffing up while cooking.
- Caramelize onions slowly for the best sweet flavor.
- Prepare patties ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before cooking.
- Freeze uncooked patties individually to store for up to three months.
