Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85 percent lean)
4 brioche buns, split
Vegetable oil, for drizzling and grill
1 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia (12 ounces), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 slices sharp white cheddar
2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced into thick rounds
Flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen
Mixed greens, such as watercress and chopped radicchio, and cornichons, for serving

Steps:

Stir together mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon mustard, and horseradish. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Form beef into 4 patties, each slightly larger in circumference than buns. Make a small indent in center of each patty with your thumb (to keep them from puffing up on the grill). Cover loosely and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Heat grill to medium-high, and place a large straight-sided skillet with a lid nearby. Brush grates with oil. Drizzle onions lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until well charred and crisp-tender (they should still maintain a bit of crunch), 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to skillet, drizzle with Worcestershire sauce, and cover with lid. Cover grill and return to medium-high heat.
Generously season indented sides of patties with salt and pepper. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons mustard. Brush grates with oil. Place patties on grill, indented-sides down, and generously season other sides. Cook until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip patties, top each with cheese, and cover grill. Continue to cook, moving occasionally as needed to avoid flare-ups, until cheese has melted and burgers are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to skillet; cover with lid. Grill buns, cut-sides down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
Sprinkle tomatoes with flaky salt. Spread both sides of buns with horseradish mixture, then add patties, onions, and greens. Serve, with salted tomatoes and cornichons alongside.

Tips:

Choose the right ground beef: Use a blend of 80% lean and 20% fat for juicy and flavorful burgers.
Season the beef simply: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all you need for a classic burger. Don't over-season or you'll mask the flavor of the beef.
Form the patties gently: Don't overwork the meat or the burgers will be tough. Just mix the ingredients until they're evenly combined, then form the patties into loose balls. Press them down gently to form patties that are about 3/4-inch thick.
Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will create a nice sear on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
Let the burgers rest: Once the burgers are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers, making them even more flavorful.
Add your favorite toppings: The possibilities are endless! Some classic toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. You can also get creative with toppings like avocado, bacon, or a fried egg.

Conclusion:

With these tips, you'll be able to make delicious bistro burgers at home. Experiment with different toppings and combinations to find your perfect burger. And don't forget to enjoy the process! Cooking should be fun, so relax and have a good time.
