The Craic Burger* Recipe

Form the Patties

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into burger patties.

Cook the Bacon

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

Grill the Patties

In the same skillet, cook the burger patties on medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Slice the Onion

Thinly slice the large onion.

Cook the Onions

In a pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and salt, and cook slowly for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into fry shapes.

Fry the Potatoes

In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato pieces in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Prepare the Steak

Season the hanger steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the Steak

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the hanger steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of the burger bun, place the cheese-topped patty, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and sliced hanger steak. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve

Serve the burger with a side of hand-cut fries.
