Best Custom Blend Beef Patty Melt With Pimento Cheese Recipes

PATTY MELT WITH PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the mascarpone, piquillo pepper puree, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon salt, smoked paprika, and white pepper. Mix on low speed until all of the ingredients are incorporated evenly. Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the sharp Cheddar cheese, diced piquillo peppers, aged sharp Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley to the bowl. Mix by hand until evenly incorporated. Adjust seasoning, if needed.
• Place the cheese into a container and refrigerate for 1 day.
• Lay the ground beef on top of a large sheet of plastic wrap. Place another piece of plastic wrap on top of the beef. Press the beef out to form a large square about 13 inches on all sides and about 3/4 to 1-inch thick.
• Lay a piece of the pullman bread on top of the plastic and cut burgers slightly larger than the bread. Cut a total of 4 burgers all the same size. Remove the plastic on both sides of the meat and season with salt and pepper on both sides. The burgers can be made and seasoned up to a day in advance.
• Place a large cast iron skillet over high heat and allow it to heat about 4 to 5 minutes. If you don't have one large enough for all the burgers use 2 skillets. When the skillet is hot, reduce the heat to medium-high and add the burgers to the pan. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it has a nice crust on the bottom.
• Add the butter to the pan. Flip the burgers over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the burgers from the pan and keep warm. Allow the meat to rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the brioche and brown in the beef fat. Add pimento cheese to the bread and allow it to melt while it is browning.
• Add the rested burgers to the browned brioche top with the pimento cheese. Cut the burgers in half and serve.

CUSTOM BLEND BEEF PATTY MELT WITH PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Blend together the sirloin and short ribs and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Loosely form the meat into 4 equal 4-ounce patties about 1/2-inch thick. I like to shape my patties into either squares or circles depending on the shape of my bread. That way every bite will have burger in it! Create a small well in the center of each beef patty, using your thumb (this will help your burger cook evenly).
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook the onions, sprinkling with salt and stirring occasionally, until caramelized, brown and soft, 25 to30 minutes.
• Season beef patties generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle pan over high heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil. Cook the burgers well-side up (the burger well collects the juices while cooking, letting your burger marinate) until browned on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Spread the Homemade Pimiento Cheese on the non-buttered side of each slice of bread. Top half of the bread slices with a pile of onions, then add the burger patties and top with the remaining bread slices.
• Place the sandwiches back on the griddle and toast until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is beginning to melt, 2 minutes per side.
• Homemade Pimento Cheese:.
• Blend the Cheddar, mayonnaise, onions, pimientos, garlic and hot sauce in a food processor until well combined. Transfer the pimento cheese to a glass jar or bowl and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.

PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Place the meat on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and, using your hands, break into small pieces and combine evenly. Arrange in a single layer and season the meat with salt and pepper.
• Divide the meat into 6 portions (about 4 ounces each). Using your hands, form each portion into a ball-shape by gently tossing it from one hand to the other. Form each portion into a thin patty (about 1/4-inch). Each patty should be somewhat larger than a slice of the bread (the patty will shrink to the size of the bread when cooked).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 7 minutes. Transfer the onion to a bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet, return to the heat, and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add 2 patties and saute, turning once, until well browned and cooked to medium, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and patties.
• Arrange 1/6 of the onion over 1 bread slice. Place 1 cheese slice over the onion and top with a patty. Top the patty with a slice of cheese and cover with a bread slice. Spread about 2 teaspoons of butter over the outside of each slice. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 6 sandwiches.
• Heat the cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining 4 sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half crosswise and serve.

PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the onions are golden and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the beef, pork, Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form each into a patty in the shape of and a little larger than a slice of the rye bread.
• Add some oil to a large griddle pan and set it over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the burgers in batches if needed, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Remove the burgers to a platter and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with the remaining burgers if needed.
• Set a large skillet or griddle pan over medium-low heat (or wipe out the griddle pan from the burgers and use that). Butter one side of each slice of rye bread with 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining butter and place the bread slices butter-side down on the griddle. Lay 2 slices of cheese on 6 of the bread slices, then add a burger, one-sixth of the onions and 2 more slices of cheese on top. Place one of the remaining bread slices on top of each sandwich, buttered-side up. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the bottom cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the sandwiches to toast the other sides and melt the cheese, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a platter and cover loosely with foil.
• Slice each sandwich in half to serve.
