Beef Patty

Cheeses

Braised Short Rib

Fried Jalapenos

BBQ Sauce

Bun

Method

Braised Short Rib

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Rib

    In a heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short rib with salt and pepper, then sear it in the pot until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics and Liquid

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Pour in the beef broth, bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 2-3 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

  3. 3

    Shred the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the short rib from the pot and shred the meat with two forks. Return the shredded meat to the pot to absorb the flavors.

Fried Jalapenos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add cold water, whisking until smooth.

  2. 5

    Fry the Jalapenos

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Dip the sliced jalapenos into the batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Beef Patty

  1. 6

    Form the Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 8

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place the American and habanero cheese slices on top of the patty to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 9

    Build the Rodeo Burger

    On the bottom half of each brioche bun, place a generous scoop of the braised short rib, followed by the beef patty with melted cheese, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, and top with fried jalapenos. Place the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
