  • For the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet. When the butter has melted, working in batches, open the buns and toast them in the skillet until they are golden brown.

Tips:

  • Cook the beef thoroughly to ensure that it is safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the beef reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can cook the beef until the juices run clear when you pierce it with a fork.
  • To make the cranberry sauce, use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar in the cranberry sauce to taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more sugar. If you prefer a tarter sauce, add less sugar.
  • For a fun presentation, serve the cranberry beef mini burgers on slider buns with a dollop of cranberry sauce and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Conclusion:

Cranberry beef mini burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course.
