Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Aioli

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined and set aside.

  3. 3

    Form the Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

  4. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  5. 5

    Toast the Brioche Buns

    While the patties are grilling, split the brioche buns and toast them on the grill until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the grilled beef patty on top, followed by a handful of arugula, a slice of tomato, and a portion of caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
