Recipe type: Lunch, Dinner
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12¼ # burgers
Ingredients
3 Pounds Chuck Roast
1 Pound Mushroom (we use crimini)
3 teaspoons Salt
Black Pepper
Toppings
sliced cheese
1 sliced tomato
lettuce leaves
basil leaves
pickles
12 Brioche buns
butter
Quick Jalapeno Guacamole
2 Ripe Avocados
½ Jalapeno
1 lime
Salt
Caramelized Onions
1 Red Onion
¼ teaspoon salt
½ Tablespoon Brown Sugar
Burger Sauce
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup bbq sauce
¼ cup mayonnaise (we use veganaise)
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef chuck to equal about 20% fat to 80% meat ratio. Grind up the meat in a meat grinder.
Wash the mushrooms and grind in the meat grinder. Suspend the ground mushrooms in a sieve over a bowl to let the extra liquid strain off.
While the mushrooms are draining, peel the onion, cut in half and slice into ¼" slices. Cook in a preheated pan. Sprinkle with salt and brown sugar and let caramelize on low heat 5-10 minutes.
Combine the beef, mushrooms, salt and pepper.
Weigh 4 ounces (1/4 pound) for each burger, roll into a ball and flatten into a circle. Make an indentation in the middle of the burger and stack with parchment squares lined in between the burgers. Up until this step the burgers can be made up to a day ahead, stacked in a container, covered and refrigerated.
Preheat your grill. Meanwhile prepare the toppings. Slice the tomatoes, wash the lettuce and basil. Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup and bbq sauce together. Mash the avocados with a fork in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt and minced jalapeno. Preheat the same pan that the onions were caramelized in. Butter the brioche buns and toast on the hot pan.
Cook the burgers 3-4 minutes on each side on high heat or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees. Once the burgers are flipped, place a slice of cheese on top.
Take off the heat and serve immediately with all the fixings!
