Burger Patty

Vegetable Medley

Pommes Duchesse

Brown Sauce

Gruyere

Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

Vegetable Medley

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

Pommes Duchesse

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and nutmeg. Mash until smooth.

  3. 8

    Prepare for Baking

    Stir in the egg yolks until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.

  4. 9

    Pipe the Potatoes

    On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe small mounds of the potato mixture.

  5. 10

    Bake the Pommes Duchesse

    Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Brown Sauce

  1. 11

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes until lightly golden.

  2. 12

    Add the Broth

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 13

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.

Gruyere

  1. 14

    Add Gruyere to the Burger

    During the last minute of cooking the patties, top each patty with grated Gruyere cheese. Cover to allow the cheese to melt.
