Classic cheeseburger with caramelized onions. Onion burger For minced meat for cutlets

Step 1

Clean the tenderloin from films and tendons. Rinse the meat and lard thoroughly and chop coarsely.

Step 2

Grind the meat and fat through a meat grinder. Peel the onion and chop very finely. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the onion and simmer over low heat until it turns light brown and releases its natural sugar.

Step 3

Add to minced meat stewed onions, very finely chopped parsley leaves, yolks, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper. Knead the minced meat well with your hands.

Step 4

Take a flat baking sheet or tray and grease it with olive oil. Using hands moistened with water, form burger patties of 140–150 g each and place in a tray. Place the cutlets in the freezer for 2-3 hours without covering them with anything.

Step 5

Prepare the onion ring mixture: take a large bowl, fill with ice, and place a smaller bowl on top. Place flour mixed with a pinch of salt in the top bowl. Whisk constantly until the mixture reaches the consistency of liquid sour cream. Peel the red onion and cut into thick rings. Heat oil for deep frying. Place a little more flour on a saucer. Dip the rings in flour, then dip into the batter (this is easy to do with kitchen tweezers) and deep-fry for about a minute. Remove the rings to a napkin to remove excess oil.

Step 6

Heat some olive oil in a grill pan. Place the cutlets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then place in an oven preheated to 180˚C for 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Cut the buns in half, place them cut side down on a heated grill pan and brown them. Assemble the burger: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the bun, a cutlet on top, then a spoonful of ketchup, pickled cucumbers cut into thin slices, another lettuce leaf and 1-2 thin slices of tomato . Cover with the other half of the bun and serve with onion rings.

Onion burger, also known as Sid's Onion Burger- a sandwich first prepared in El Reno, Oklahoma at Sid's Diner during the Great Depression, and due to its simplicity, speed of preparation and taste, won the approval and sincere love of the American male population.

This is not your typical hamburger or... It's harsh onion burger- the result of the use of fire, strength and simple ingredients.

Really - onion burger This is definitely a man's kitchen. It needs to be cooked in a frying pan, but where this frying pan is installed - on the stove or over the coals - is absolutely unimportant. In particularly extreme cases, this burger can be cooked simply on a sheet of iron thrown over the coals.

The burger tastes simply great. There is nothing superfluous in it, nothing can interfere with the taste fried meat. Salted or pickled cucumber and mild mustard are optional, but appropriate and very pleasant additions.

For the onion burger you will need

For two burgers.

  • Ground beef. 150 gr. Since the burger cooks very quickly, it is better not to use minced pork.
  • Onion. 1 large onion.
  • Burger buns. 2 pcs.
  • Cheese. 2 slices.
  • Salt. Taste.
  • Black ground pepper. Taste.
  • Cucumber. Salted or pickled. Optional.
  • Mustard. Mild. Optional.

Making an onion burger.

Cut the burger buns in half and fry in a dry frying pan or on a grill.

Cut the onion into very thin half or quarter rings.

We form 2 meatballs from the minced meat, weighing approximately 70-80 g. ( The thickness is approximately one and a half to two centimeters and the diameter is approximately 6-7 cm.) Salt and pepper on one side.

Heat a frying pan lightly greased with vegetable oil. Place the meatballs in the frying pan, salted side down. The fire under the frying pan remains strong all the time.

Let it fry for 30 seconds, then use a spatula to firmly press the minced meat into the frying pan, practically crushing the meatball and making it very thin.

Let it fry for about another minute, then salt and pepper the minced meat and place chopped onion on top, half an onion for each cutlet.

Again, use a spatula to press the onion firmly into the minced meat. Strong - this means really hard, pressing the onion into the minced meat and flattening the cutlet even more. The main thing is not to break the minced meat into pieces, but appearance cutlets are not important. It is desirable that it still looks at least a little like a circle.

Then use a spatula to turn the minced meat over with the onion facing down. And also press firmly with a spatula several more times.

Move the onion coming out from under the minced meat closer to the minced meat, trying to remove the onion under the cutlet.

Fry for about one and a half to two minutes, then spread the cheese on the cutlets.

We try to place the onion under the cheese so that when the cheese melts, it binds the onion.

Cut the salted or pickled cucumber into thin rings.

Using a spatula, scoop up the minced meat, along with the onion and cheese, from the frying pan and place it on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with chopped cucumber and mustard, if using.

Cover the sandwich with the top half of the bun and serve immediately hot.

All, onion burger completely ready. It will take about 10 minutes to prepare, including chopping the onion.

A real man's burger, both in taste and in the method of preparation. Well, what to drink this with? onion burger, I think there is no doubt

First you need to remove all the veins and skin from the meat. Then grind it in a meat grinder mixed with beef fat.

Pepper the minced meat and knead for several minutes. In general, you can salt it at this stage, but it is better to salt ready-made cutlets before frying, since salt activates the release of moisture from the meat and while the cutlets are cooling before frying (and we will have such a stage), the juices will come out of the meat and it will become tougher after frying. If you fry it right away, you can add salt right away.

In general, this is the whole secret of making minced meat. There's no need to shove anything else in there. No spices, eggs or other ungodly things are needed. Everything we added is absolutely enough for excellent juicy cutlets.

Now we form wide and flat cutlets from the minced meat. The thickness of the cutlet should be approximately 1 cm, and the diameter must be wider than the diameter of the bun, because when frying, the cutlet will decrease in size due to evaporation of the liquid and will become stupidly smaller than the size of the bun. This won't work.

Place the formed cutlets in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to cool the fat in the cutlets. This is necessary for the cutlets to fry better. In the meantime, we will have something to do.

Cut the buns in half lengthwise and fry the buns in butter or vegetable oil until crispy crust forms. This is an important nuance that will improve the taste of the finished burger.

Now let's cut the vegetables. Tomatoes into rings, approximately 3 mm thick. We also cut the pickled cucumbers into rings. And onions into rings too. By the way, it’s a good idea to lightly marinate the onions. To do this, sprinkle it with vinegar, add a pinch of sugar, stir it lightly and crush it. Just in time to assemble the burger, the onions will be pickled and awesome. But if you don’t want to, then don’t do it ☺

Now for the sauces. The science here is generally simple. The first sauce is regular ketchup. The second sauce is mustard mayonnaise. To do this, simply mix 1 tbsp. a spoonful of mustard and 2 tbsp. spoons of mayonnaise. Yes, yes, it's that simple. There is no need to invent a bicycle. These two sauces are perfect for the burger.

While we were busy with vegetables and sauces, the cherished half an hour had passed and the cutlets had cooled down in the refrigerator.

Fry the cutlets with the addition of a very, very small amount of vegetable oil for 4 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the other. Fry at almost maximum heat. To prevent the cutlet from bending in the frying pan, as soon as you place the cutlet, press it down in the center with your finger.

When the cutlet is turned over to the other side, you should immediately place a piece of cheese on top of the fried side of the cutlet - let it melt.

Now all that remains is to assemble the burger. There are no special rules for assembling a burger, but I have developed a few for myself:
1. The hot cutlet should not come into contact with the salad so that the salad remains crispy and does not fade due to temperature.
2. The cutlet should be between layers of vegetables. For example, put onions and pickled cucumbers on the bottom of the cutlet, and tomato and lettuce on top
3. Where do you put the sauces? If you made the buns, as I said, that is, browned them on the cut side in vegetable oil, then it is best to grease the buns themselves. If the buns are not fried, then spread one sauce on the vegetables, and the second on the cutlet.

We are ready to assemble the burger:
Spread 1.5 teaspoons of mustard sauce on the bottom bun
Add onions and pickled cucumbers
Place the cutlet with melted cheese
Add tomato and lettuce
Optionally add another piece of cheese
Grease the top bun with ketchup and cover the burger.
Lightly press the burger

That's all. Quite simple manipulations with simple products and the perfect burger is ready. This is not some kind of burger made with store-bought buns. This is a real classic meat burger made from A to Z. Well, except that we didn’t grow wheat and cows ☺

Clean the tenderloin from films and tendons. Rinse the meat and lard thoroughly and chop coarsely.

Grind the meat and fat through a meat grinder. Peel the onion and chop very finely. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the onion and simmer over low heat until it turns light brown and releases its natural sugar.

Add stewed onions, very finely chopped parsley leaves, yolks, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to the minced meat. Knead the minced meat well with your hands.

Take a flat baking sheet or tray and grease it with olive oil. Using hands moistened with water, form burger patties of 140–150 g each and place in a tray. Place the cutlets in the freezer for 2-3 hours without covering them with anything.

Prepare the onion ring mixture: take a large bowl, fill with ice, and place a smaller bowl on top. Place flour mixed with a pinch of salt in the top bowl. Whisk constantly until the mixture reaches the consistency of liquid sour cream. Peel the red onion and cut into thick rings. Heat oil for deep frying. Place a little more flour on a saucer. Dip the rings in flour, then dip into the batter (this is easy to do with kitchen tweezers) and deep-fry for about a minute. Remove the rings to a napkin to remove excess oil.

Heat some olive oil in a grill pan. Place the cutlets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then place in an oven preheated to 180˚C for 3-4 minutes.

Cut the buns in half, place them cut side down on a heated grill pan and brown them. Assemble the burger: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the bun, a cutlet on top, then a spoonful of ketchup, pickled cucumbers cut into thin slices, another lettuce leaf and 1-2 thin slices of tomato . Cover with the other half of the bun and serve with onion rings.

Burgers have long since left the category of fast food. Today, even the most sophisticated Michelin-starred restaurants offer variations on the theme of the minced meat bun - sometimes even for a whopping $5,000, and chefs create fantasy dishes by replacing bread with rice, and beef with crab and truffle.
