Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
.666 pound 90% lean ground beef
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (such as Trader Joe's® 21 Seasoning Salute)
1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

BUTTER BURGERS

Time 35m

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 stick plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 onions, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound ground beef sirloin
6 soft hamburger buns, split

Steps:

Preheat the broiler. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1/3 cup water, cover and continue cooking until the onions are golden brown, about 15 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the onions to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
Divide the meat into 6 loose balls, then gently flatten into thin patties. Heat the skillet over high heat. Add the patties to the hot skillet, smash them flat with a spatula and season with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until well done, about 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, toast the buns under the broiler. Put the patties on the bottom buns and top each with 1/4 cup sauteed onions. Smear 2 tablespoons butter on the cut side of each top bun, then put on top of the burgers. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your burgers.
Grind your own beef. This will give you more control over the quality of the meat and the fat content.
Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
Season the meat liberally. Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful burger.
Form the burgers into patties that are about 3/4 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
Don't flip the burgers too often. Flipping them too often will make them dry.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices.

Conclusion:

Making better butter burgers at home is easy if you follow these tips. With a little practice, you'll be able to make burgers that are just as good as, or even better than, the ones you get at your favorite restaurant.
