Burger Ingredients

House Sauce Ingredients

Shallot Jam Ingredients

Method

Prepare the Shallot Jam

  1. 1

    Cook the Shallots

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Sugar and Vinegar

    Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Prepare the Burger

  1. 3

    Shape the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    Spread house sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then place the grilled patty on top. Add shallot jam and pickles, then cover with the top half of the bun.
