Its summer, summer means grill and grill means Burgers! Its time for the masses to leave behind the frozen patties and get adventurous. Don't get me wrong, there is no better simple pleasure in life then a huge grilled hunk of meat, medium rare with lettuce and tomato, heinz 57 and French fired potatoes, big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer.. (shout out to my man Jimmy Buffet). I am sure even Jimmy changes it up once in a while...so I present you the Italian Burger
Burger (makes 2)
2/3 Lbs Ground Beef (90/10)
1 Tbs Tomato Paste
1/4 C grated Romano Cheese
1/2 Tsp dried basil
1/2 Tsp dried oregano
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper
1 Tbs Olive Oil
1 small onion sliced thin
1 Tbs Honey
3 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar
2 slices of fresh mozzarella
2 Kaiser Rolls
Heat your grill to med-high. In a bowl mix together tomato paste, cheese, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and ground beef. Form to equal size patties. Grill about 3-4 mins per size for med well. In the last 2 mins of grilling top with the mozz cheese.
For the onions heat a skillet over med-high. Add the oil. Add the onions and reduce the heat to med. Add the honey and sauté. You want to cook the onions down until they are translucent (not brown). Add the balsamic and cook down until almost evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Assemble the burger, bun, burger, onions bun, done!
