PITTSBURGH STEELERS PRIMANTI BURGER

Steps:

• I'm sure just about every Pittsburgh native knows Primanti Brothers, the sandwich chain famous in Pittsburgh since 1933. The chain is known as a sandwich shop where fries and cole slaw become part of the sandwich, instead of being served on the side. This is where I got the idea for my Steelers burger. This burger is a seared beef patty, covered with provolone cheese (melted to perfection). The cheeseburger is then placed between two slices of fresh French bread, and topped with french fries, cole slaw, and your choice of fixings...tomato and onion for me! Ingredients 6 inches of French Bread, split lengthwise ½ pound of ground beef 2 slices of Provolone cheese French fries (any kind) Cole slaw Lettuce Tomato Onion Salt Ground black pepper Mayo Mustard Ketchup Olive oil Directions Make some French fries (or buy an already cooked). Form the ground beef into a dimpled patty of about the same size as the bread, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Slice and plate the French bread. Place olive oil in a pan and heat at medium-high. Sear the patty for about 3 minutes on each side. When nearly done, add cheese on top of patty. Cover pan and let cheese melt for 1-2 minutes. Remove burger from pan and let it rest. Spread mustard, mayo, ketchup, or whichever condiments are your favorite onto the French bread. Place the burger patty onto the bread. Add tomato, lettuce and/or any other toppings you like. Top the toppings with French fries. Top the fries with cole slaw. Add the top slice of French bread and cut the sandwich in half. This is one seriously good, traditional American burger. Way to go, Steel Town!

AUTHENTIC ELVIS BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide ground beef into 4 patties, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and keep warm. Cook onion in the bacon drippings until lightly browned, about 10 minutes, stirring often; sprinkle with sugar during frying if desired. Set onion aside.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Open hamburger buns and place onto a baking sheet with cut sides up; toast under the broiler until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Set buns aside.
• Pan fry ground beef patties in the same skillet as onions until browned and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a burger should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a slice of Cheddar cheese onto each patty and allow cheese to melt.
• To assemble, spread peanut butter onto bottom halves of buns; spread ketchup onto top halves. Top the peanut butter with pickle slices, cooked onion, burgers with cheese, a slice of bacon, several tomato slices, and about 1/4 cup shredded lettuce per sandwich.

PRIMANTI'S SANDWICH

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage, vinegar, olive oil, celery seed, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Let the slaw sit and the flavors mingle while you make the fries.
• Cut unpeeled potatoes into sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when the tip of a potato really sizzles on contact. Carefully slide the potatoes into the oil to fry over moderate heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until crisp, golden brown, and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Don't let the fries brown too quickly! (They might remain raw on the inside and burned on the outside if they are cooked too fast.) Drain on paper towels, and season with salt.
• Heat another large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, sear the sliced capicola until crisped on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove skillet from heat, and make two stacks of capicola on a side plate, laying the sliced provolone on top, to get it started melting while you assemble the sandwiches.
• To assemble, lay two slices of bread on your work surface. Top with the capicola and melted cheese. Top with the fries, slaw, and sliced tomatoes.Top with the remaining bread, cut in half, and serve immediately.

PRIMANTI BROS. STYLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the cole slaw by mixing the cole slaw, vegetable oil, sugar, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• cook your fries. I use the ore-ide oven chips, those can be cooked like normal in the oven, or microwaved. To get the true primanti's fry texture I microwave these oven chips for about three minutes. It works best with these because they are pre-cooked, and tase well when microwaved.
• assemble your sandwich by putting the meat on the bottom piece of bread.
• put the cheese on the meat.
• put the french fries on.
• put as much cole slaw as you like on.
• place two slices of tomato on top
• place your top piece of bread on.
• cut in the middle, and viola.a Primanti!
