Rich Man's Hamburgers image

This came from "The Great Big Burger Book," by Jane Murphy and Liz Yeh Singh. It makes a rich and tasty splurge of a hamburger. This would also be good served with a mustard-horseradish sauce. An English recipe brought across the ocean to end up in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic states.

Time 27m

Yield 2-3 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb lean top sirloin steak
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
2 large egg yolks
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cognac
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 teaspoons capers, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns
kaiser rolls or other good hot dog bun
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar, packed
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 -6 drops Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • CUT the beef into 1-inch chunks.
  • Place in food processor in two batches and pulse until it's coarsely ground.
  • (Don't overprocess; you want it a little chunky.) Put meat in a bowl and add the shallots, chives, mustard, Tabasco, egg yolks, Worcestershire, cognac, sea salt, capers and pepper.
  • With very clean hands, work the ingredients into the meat, then form into three or four burgers about 1 1/2 inches thick.
  • PLACE burgers in the refrigerator to chill and firm up while you start a fire in the grill.
  • Grill over direct heat about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Insert an instant-read thermometer from the side to make sure the center is 160 degrees.
  • While burgers are grilling, brush the insides of the rolls with melted butter.
  • Place on the grill, cut side down, to toast lightly.
  • Serve with Brooklyn Ketchup and your favorite toppings.
  • For Brooklyn Ketchup: BEAT all the ingredients together in a small bowl or cup.
  • The authors note that the garlic flavor gets stronger if you let it stand for an hour, but don't make it more than 24 hours in advance.
  • Makes about 1/4 cup.
