Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon butter or mild olive oil
1 to 1 1/4 pounds fresh ground beef (preferably 15 to 20 percent fat)
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Condiments
1 red onion, sliced very thin
1 tomato, sliced thin
Iceberg lettuce leaves
Small whole pickles
Thin Cheddar or Swiss cheese slices
Bacon strips, cooked crisp
Butter, at room temperature
Ketchup
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
Salsa
Potato chips

Steps:

  • In a small saute pan, over high heat, saute the shallots in the butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Divide the meat into 4 portions. One at a time, flatten each by chopping and spreading the meat with light strokes of your chefs knife. Season each with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the shallots. Blend into the meat, chopping and turning it as you shape the portions into 4 1/2 to 5-inch round patties, 1/4-inch thick. Toast the hamburger buns and distribute them to your guests. Suggest that they dress the bottom halves of their rolls as they wish while you cook the burgers. Lightly dust the surface of a large, hot saute pan, with salt. When the pan is very hot, but not smoking, lay a patty in the pan. Rapidly add a second burger. Brown the meat, about 20 seconds. Turn patties to other side. Cook until done, about 1 minute. Remove cooked burgers to a warm platter. Repeat process with 2 remaining burgers. Place finished burgers onto guests buns as quickly as possible so they can add their finishing touches.

PAN-SEARED BURGERS



Pan-Seared Burgers image

This recipe came from my local newspaper. I haven't tried it yet but sounds great. Burgers to be cooked in a skillet or under the broiler or even the barbecue for diehard barbecuers. You can double the recipe and freeze the patties in a freezer bag for up to one month.

Provided by Little Chef

Categories     Meat

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large egg
2 tablespoons cold water or 2 tablespoons beef broth
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 onion, grated
1 garlic clove, grated
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 lb lean ground beef
canola oil

Steps:

  • Break egg into a large bowl; whisk with water until smooth. Add breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well to blend flavours.
  • Crumble beef over egg mixture, with a wooden spoon, mix beef and egg mixture just until combined.
  • Shape into four to six patties, each about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Set a skillet that will hold burgers comfortably in one layer over medium-high heat. Brush bottom of skillet with oil. Heat until oil is just shimmering. Arrange burgers in skillet. Fry until brown and crisp on bottom, about six minutes per side.
  • Remove burgers to a plate topped with towelling and pat off any visible fat.

Tips for Making the Best Pan-Seared Burgers:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: 80/20 ground chuck is a good option, as it has enough fat to keep the burgers moist and flavorful.
  • Season the beef simply: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all you need to create a delicious burger.
  • Form the burgers gently: Don't overwork the beef, as this will make the burgers tough.
  • Make a thumbprint in the center of each burger: This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle.
  • Sear the burgers over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the burgers to your desired doneness: For a medium-rare burger, cook for about 3 minutes per side.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the burgers more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared burgers are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make perfect pan-seared burgers every time. So next time you're craving a burger, give this recipe a try!
