Burger Patty
- 500 grams ground beef preferably grass-fed for richer flavor
- 1 cup Guinness stout reduces to intensify flavor
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
Burger Assembly
- 4 medium burger buns preferably brioche
- 4 slices cheddar cheese aged for robust taste
- 1 cup arugula fresh and peppery
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour the Guinness stout and allow it to reduce until it becomes a thick glaze. This should take about 10 minutes—set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooled Guinness reduction, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Shape the mixture into four equal patties, handling them as little as possible to maintain tenderness.
- Preheat your grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare, or longer depending on your preference.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.
- Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for added texture.
- Assemble the burger by spreading whole grain mustard on the bottom bun, then adding a patty, followed by arugula, and finally, the top bun. Serve immediately.
Notes: For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the beef in the Guinness overnight.
