Best Caesar Salad Burger Recipes

CAESAR SALAD BURGER

Steps:

• To make the mayonnaise: combine the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire, and pepper in a food processor; process until smooth.
• Scrape into a bowl and stir in the cheese; cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours before serving so flavors can meld.
• To make the burgers: divide the meat into 4 equal portions (6 oz each); form each portion loosely into a ¾ inch thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb.
• Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper; cook the burgers, using the oil-- heat oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer; cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey.
• Flip burgers over; cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare or until cooked to desired degree of doneness; cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and spread a few tablespoons of the Caesar mayonnaise on each burger.
• Top with the romaine lettuce leaves and sprinkle with the Parmesan and black pepper.
• Cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.

TERIYAKI BURGER WITH CAESAR SALAD AND SHOESTRING POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare 2 small saucepans over low heat. To the first, add the mirin and 3 teaspoons of ginger and simmer until the mixture is about 3/4 reduced and is a dark caramel color. To the second, add the chicken stock and reduce by about 1/2. Slowly pour the mirin mixture into the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the soy sauce and pineapple juice and reduce again by 1/4. Let the mixture cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. When well mixed, form the beef into four 6-ounce patties. Brush all sides of the burgers with the teriyaki sauce and place in either a hot grill or 450 degree oven. Continue brushing with the teriyaki as the burger cooks until the desired doneness is achieved.
• Using a food processor, combine the garlic, anchovies, pepper, and hot pepper sauce. Blend in the rice vinegar, and egg yolk. With the processor running, slowly drizzle The oils until a consistency of thin mayonnaise is reached. Refrigerate until ready for use.
• Using a mandoline, cut the potatoes into match-sized sticks. Fill a fryer or medium heavy pot one-third full with the oil and heat over high heat to 350 degrees. Add the potatoes to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with the salt.
• Plating: Cut the bread into 8 slices and toast on a grill or under a broiler. Top one side of the bread with the lettuce and tomato and place the burger on top. Place a mound of the salad next to the burger and arrange a handful of the potatoes on top of the salad.
