Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons granulated onion
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup roasted garlic, minced
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
4 pinches fresh ground black pepper
2 pounds ground beef (premium chuck 80/20 blend)
12 ounces blue cheese, such as Point Reyes
8 slices applewood smoked bacon, cooked crispy
4 soft brioche buns, cut in half
1 kosher dill pickle, finely sliced
1/2 Vidalia onion, very finely sliced
1 heirloom tomato, finely sliced
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, finely sliced
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • For the blackening spice: In a small mixing bowl, combine the pepper, cumin, granulated onion, cayenne, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, chili powder and salt. Mix to blend. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.
  • For the garlic butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and garlic, and cook until the butter has melted and garlic has become fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Mix in the parsley. Reserve to the side in a small bowl.
  • For the donkey sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, roasted garlic, mustard, salt, Worcestershire and pepper. Mix well. Cover and reserve.
  • For the black and blue burger: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Divide the ground beef into eight portions; roll each into a loose ball, then flatten into a 4-inch patty. On four of the patties, place 2 ounces of the blue cheese. Cover with a second patty and gently seal the edges to form a stuffed patty about 1 1/2-inches thick.
  • Season the stuffed patties on both sides with the blackening spice. Grill, spaced 3 inches apart to prevent flare ups, until a crust has developed on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook to develop a crust on the reverse side, 2 minutes. Top each burger with 2 slices of bacon and 1 ounce of the remaining blue cheese. Cover with a piece of foil and cook another 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Remove the burgers to a serving tray to rest.
  • Lightly brush the cut sides of the brioche buns with garlic butter, and toast on the grill until crisp and golden, 5 to 10 seconds.
  • To assemble: Smear the buns with some donkey sauce. Layer the bottom buns with pickles, onions and a burger. Top with tomatoes and lettuce. Cover with the bun tops and secure with wooden skewers. Serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 thick-sliced bacon strips
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 sesame seed hamburger buns, split
2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup Maytag blue cheese crumbles
2 tablespoons steak sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cracked pepper. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the sugar is gooey, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven, keep warm and set aside. Leave the oven on.
  • While the bacon bakes, heat a cast-iron griddle over medium heat until hot.
  • Spread the mayonnaise on the split sides of the buns and griddle mayo-side down until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Shape the beef into 4 equal patties. Spread the mustard over each patty and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and flip the patties.
  • Top the patties with the blue cheese crumbles. Bake until the cheese starts to yield--the blue cheese will not melt--2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spread the steak sauce on the bottom buns. Top with the patties and bacon. Close the burgers and serve hot.

Very flavorful burgers full of spice and the wonderful flavor of cheese. Great over the charcoal grill, although these can be made indoors at a pinch.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 41m

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb ground chuck
1 lb ground beef round
6 fresh kaiser rolls, split
3 -6 leaves romaine lettuce, torn
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1/3 lb premium blue cheese (not crumbled)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
3 ounces premium blue cheese (optional)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional)
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Steps:

  • You will need 1/2 pound blue cheese total (get the block type cheese, not the crumbled stuff in packages).
  • Prepare your dressing by crumbling 3 ounces of cheese and mixing it thoroughly with the other dressing ingredients and setting aside to chill (do not do this more than a few hours before).
  • Mix together your spice mix in a large shallow bowl or plate and set aside until needed.
  • Mix together chuck and round, then separate mixture into 1/3 pound pieces (just over 5 ounces)- you should have 6.
  • Divide each piece in half and form into a thin patty and place onto wax paper on whatever platter you are working with.
  • Take the 1/3 pound of blue cheese and cut into 6 divided sections (approximate) and place thin slices onto 6 of the patties you have formed.
  • Cover these patties with the remaining 6 patties and form a pinched seal around the edges, making it tight.
  • Pick up each patty, and gently reform the burger and pat it back out to thinness, if needed; rest them on waxed paper.
  • Take patties one by one and coat in the seasoning mixture, not forgetting to coat the side edges and patting them nicely flat when finished; rest on waxed paper.
  • Cook over heated coals or on gas grill until it is cooked through or temperature reads 160F (do not press on patties while grilling).
  • Allow patties to rest 10-15 minutes after cooking for cheese to settle.
  • Serve on split kaiser rolls (may toast them if you like) with appropriate condiments: lettuce, tomato, sliced red onion, and a little blue cheese dressing (instead of mayo; optional).

BLACK AND BLUE STEAK BURGER



Black and Blue Steak Burger image

Why chop up perfectly good steaks to make burgers? Why, for the extraordinary taste and texture, of course; and it's nice to know exactly what you're eating. Most ground meat from the store is too fine, horribly overworked, and a little tough by the time you form it into patties. We avoid that problem by using a sharp knife and partially frozen meat. Plus, the sharp, savory funkiness of blue cheese helps form a glorious crust as the meat sears into it.

Categories     Hamburgers

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ pound fatty rib-eye steak
¾ pound top sirloin steak
2 ounces blue cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
2 ounces pickled red onions, or to taste

Steps:

  • Slice steaks in half, then into strips about 1/4-to 1/2-inch-thick. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until very cold and firm, but not quite frozen, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place blue cheese in the freezer as well so it's easier to handle.
  • Chop the partially frozen steak with a sharp knife or meat cleaver until it resembles coarsely ground meat. Crumble about 1/2 cup (unpacked) blue cheese on top; use the cleaver to fold and chop it into the meat.
  • Lightly dampen your hands with water and roll the mixture into 3 or 4 patties. Flatten onto individual pieces of plastic wrap; seal and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Unwrap patties and continue pressing them to your desired thinness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a dry cast iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear each patty, without disturbing it, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the surface springs back when lightly pressed, about 3 minutes more.
  • Spread some mayonnaise over each bottom bun half. Serve patties on the buns, topped with pickled red onions.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right steak: Opt for a well-marbled steak with good fat content, such as ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin, for a juicy and flavorful burger.
  • Seasoning the steak: Generously season the steak with a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic and delicious flavor profile.
  • Cooking the steak: Cook the steak over medium-high heat to create a nice crust while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Building the burger: Layer the cooked steak with blue cheese crumbles, crumbled bacon, and sliced red onion on a toasted bun for a classic black and blue burger combination. You can also add other toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and pickles to your preference.
  • Using quality ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, locally-sourced beef, artisanal blue cheese, and thick-cut bacon.
