Title: Bourbon Burger
Post by: Rob on March 09, 2011, 04:45:40 PM

Ingredients                Burger Patties and Cheese:        

• 30 ounces ground chuck (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/chuck/index.html) (20 percent fat)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons bourbon (recommended: Bulleit brand)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/cumin/index.html)
• 1 1/4 teaspoons table salt
• 30 grinds fresh black pepper
• 6 ounces Dubliner cheese (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/cheese/index.html) (Kerrygold brand), thinly sliced and divided into 6 (1-ounce) servings

        Sauteed Onions:        

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (European style)
• 1 large Vidalia onion, halved (through the core (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/core/index.html)) and thinly sliced (1/4-inch)
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 8 grinds fresh black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 cup bourbon (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/bourbon/index.html) (recommended: Bulleit brand)

        Buns:        

• Brioche (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/brioche/index.html) hamburger (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/hamburger/index.html)-sized buns, halved
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (European style), at room temperature

                Directions              Combine well-chilled ground chuck with bourbon and Worcestershire sauce (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/worcestershire-sauce/index.html)   and mix lightly with a fork to combine. Add oregano, cumin, salt, and   pepper and mix lightly with a fork to combine. Combine more thoroughly   with hands, being careful not to over mix. Separate meat mixture into 6   even portions and form into patties. Set patties on a board.
Heat nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat.
Heat olive oil and butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add onion (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/onion/index.html) slices to skillet and toss in the oil and butter. Add salt, pepper, oregano (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/oregano/index.html), and cumin and toss. Continue to saute onions, but start cooking burgers.
Place patties on grill pan and cook for 2 1/2 minutes on 1 side. Flip (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/flip/index.html)   patties and place cheese on top of each. Cook for 1 minute and then   tent foil over patties and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove patties from   grill and place on a clean board. Replace foil tent over patties and let   rest for 5 minutes. Turn heat under grill pan (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/grill-pan/index.html) down to low and give pan a quick wipe with a damp paper towel (held in tongs).
Once onions start to turn slightly golden, pour bourbon into skillet, off the burner. Once alcohol (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/alcohol/index.html) cooks off, turn heat under skillet down to low, and let onions absorb liquid.
Place bun halves on grill pan and toast until lightly golden, 1 to 2   minutes. Remove from grill pan and butter with 1/2 tablespoon of butter   per bun. Place 1 patty (http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/patty/index.html) on each bun bottom, top with approximately 1/4 cup onions, and bun top.
Serve and enjoy!
