Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beer-Braised Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced onions and cook until translucent. Add beer and simmer until onions are soft and beer has reduced, about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Burgers

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into 4 patties. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Top each patty with a slice of American cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread a generous amount of smoked mayonnaise on each burger bun. Place the cooked burger patty on the bun, followed by beer-braised onions, a drizzle of black pepper gravy, and a sprinkle of pickled mustard seeds. Top with the other half of the bun.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with additional black pepper gravy on the side.
