ULTIMATE BACKYARD BURGER



Ultimate Backyard Burger image

Provided by Chris Santos

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 cup minced shallots
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 cup canned chopped tomatoes, such as Bel Aria
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons chipotle puree
Vegetable stock, if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon mustard powder, such as Coleman's
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 slices bacon
4 ounces very soft unsalted butter, melted
3 pounds ground beef (or mixture of ground beef, ground brisket and ground lamb)
3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 brioche buns
Olive oil, for brushing
6 thick slices artisanal American cheese (found at your local cheese shop)

Steps:

  • For the ketchup: Saute the shallots and garlic in the olive oil in a large skillet over low heat until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the honey and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, corn syrup, vinegar, sugar and chipotle puree and simmer for 30 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor, adding vegetable stock if the ketchup is too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the mustard aioli: Combine the lemon juice and egg yolk in a food processor. Whisk together the canola and olive oil, and then slowly stream in until the mixture is thick and emulsified. Alternatively, this can be done in a mixing bowl with a whisk. Add the mustard, mustard powder and salt and combine. Season with more salt if needed.
  • For the burger: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the grill to high heat. Brush both sides of the bacon with some of the smoked chili ketchup. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Gently fold the butter into the ground meat along with the paprika and cumin. Form the beef mixture into 6 patties, and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and black pepper.
  • Brush the brioche buns on each side with olive oil and grill the insides until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Grill the burgers until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once you flip the burger, add a thick slice of the cheese to each and keep the cover closed to let melt.
  • Spread the mustard aioli on one side of the buns and the smoked chili ketchup on the other. Place the burgers on the bun cheese-side up and top each with 2 strips of bacon.
