Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, short rib, and brisket. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill or a skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place blue cheese on top of each patty and cover until melted.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the burger patty with melted blue cheese, crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, and a spoonful of apple chutney. Top with the other half of the bun.

Preparing Sweet Potato Fries

  1. 8

    Cut Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into fries or wedges.

  2. 9

    Season Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, and paprika until evenly coated.

  3. 10

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
