Attention, everyone who claims to dislike vegetables! This burger is for you! As the beef patty cooks, the natural sweetness of the onions melts right in! Get ready for a flavor explosion. A recipe from ‘Sesang-ui Modeun Recipe’, ‘Mange Recipe’.
Essential Ingredients- 2 Hamburger buns
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 cups Ground beef
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Olive oil, for cooking
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or your favorite slicing cheese)
- Mayonnaise, to taste
- Mustard, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by peeling and thinly slicing half an onion. The thinner the slices, the better they will caramelize and release their natural sweetness when cooked.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands until it becomes cohesive and slightly sticky. This helps create a firm patty that won’t fall apart during cooking. Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and form them into patties, slightly larger than your hamburger buns and about 1 inch thick. Gently press the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up in the middle while cooking.
Step 3
Slice the hamburger buns in half. Lightly toast the cut sides of the buns in a dry pan over medium-low heat until golden brown. This step prevents the buns from becoming soggy from the sauces and adds a pleasant toasted flavor.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Carefully place the beef patties in the hot pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the patties are nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties, as this will squeeze out the flavorful juices.
Step 5
During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking the patties, place the thinly sliced onions on top of each patty. Cover the pan briefly if needed to help the onions soften and cook. The onions will absorb some of the beef drippings and become wonderfully sweet.
Step 6
Now it’s time to assemble your delicious burger! Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a cooked beef patty with the softened onions on top. Add a slice of cheese over the hot patty, allowing it to melt slightly. Finally, spread a bit of mustard on the cut side of the top bun and place it on top to complete your Sweet Onion Burger. Enjoy your homemade masterpiece!
