BURGER

  • 1 burger bun
  • 150g beef forequarter
  • Ketchup
  • 1 fresh tomato
  • 1 portobello
  • Salt
  • Pepper

PARMESAN CHIP

  • 20 g grated parmesan

CARAMELIZED ONION

  • 1 large onion
  • 30 g cane sugar
  • 5 g butter
  • Salt
  • 8 ml balsamic vinegar
  • A little oil

Preparation of the parmesan chip:

  • 1
    Place grated parmesan in the shape of circles on a baking sheet with parchment paper. The size should be roughly the same as the diameter of the brioche.
  • 2
    Then remove the baking sheet and let it cool.
  • 3
    Place in the oven and bake at 180°C for approximately 5 minutes until golden.

Procedure for preparing caramelized onion:

  • 1
    Slice the onion into thin half-moons.
  • 2
    Heat butter in a pan with a little oil, so it doesn't burn.
  • 3
    Sauté the onion in butter until dark golden, then sprinkle with sugar and let it caramelize.
  • 4
    Finally, add balsamic vinegar, mix thoroughly, lightly salt, and let it cook for a few more minutes until the liquid evaporates.

Preparation of the burger itself:

  • 1
    Beef needs to be thoroughly chilled before grinding.
  • 2
    Clean the meat, cut it into larger strips, and grind it. After grinding, work it thoroughly, weigh out 150g portions, and shape them into burgers.
  • 3
    Since the meat is high quality, season it only with salt and freshly ground pepper just before grilling, like a steak.
  • 4
    Cut the brioche in half and toast both halves on the grill to warm them up.
  • 5
    Meanwhile, grill the burger in olive oil for approximately 2 minutes on each side. It's important to flatten the meat with a spatula into a regular patty, as meat shrinks during cooking.
  • 6
    Finally, cover and leave for less than a minute to cook through. If the grill is properly hot, the burger will be cooked medium to medium-well in this time, which is exactly the doneness we need. At the same time, sauté salted and peppered mushroom slices with a slice of fresh tomato.
  • 7
    When the meat is done, spread ketchup on both sides of the brioche, place the meat on the bottom half, then caramelized onion on the meat, a parmesan chip on top of that, followed by the tomato and mushrooms. Finally, cover with the top half of the brioche and serve.
Tip
The ideal ratio is 80% meat and 20% fat, as fat carries flavor and the burger itself will not be dry but beautifully juicy.
