Burgers With Beery Onions
What is a barbecue without burgers? The quantity of ingredients shown will make about six generous-sized pattiesI like to add a slice of blue vein cheese to the top of my burger, but I am the only one in the family who does, so you may need to take a few cheese varieties. You might even come across some new types while on the road!
Burgers:- 500g minced beef
- 3 tablespoons beer
- dash of Tabasco sauce
- dash of Worcestershire sauce
- freshly ground salt and pepper
- one slice per burger of cheese
- 6 hamburger buns
I usually place burger mince, the sauces and salt and pepper into a plastic bag and ‘massage’ the ingredients together. To make patties, simply scoop the amount of mince you need out of the bag, mould into patty shape and place on a hot barbecue plate.
Cook meat patty to medium for five or so minutes. Adjust cooking time either way, depending on how you like your patty 'done'.
The beer gives a beautiful flavour to the burgers and onions, so even if you don’t like beer, try it as an ingredient - the heat removes the alcohol from the beer and leaves pure flavour.
Beery Onions
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 small cup beer
- generous pinch sugar
Heat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until very soft. Add beer and sugar and cook for about 15 minutes until the beer has been absorbed and onions are starting to turn a golden brown.
To serve, cut buns in half and toast on the barbecue plate. Place a hot meat patty with a generous serve of the onion on the bun and quickly top with a slice of cheese. The heat from the meat and onions will start to melt the cheese. Top with remaining half of bun.
