Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    While the onions are cooking, form the ground beef into a patty. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger

    In a separate skillet or grill, cook the burger patty over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the burger, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Make the Yuzu 1000 Island Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and yuzu juice. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread the yuzu sauce on the bottom half of the burger bun. Place the arugula on top, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, and finally the caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
