after watching the barefoot contessa prepare sliders and corn on her grill on foodtv, i was inspired to replicate the meal at home. i combined some recipes i found on the internet with one in my barefoot contessa cookbook to come up with the following recipe. she suggests putting a pat of butter inside each patty, but that's a bit much for me.
mix ketchup, chopped onions, chopped garlic, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a small bowl. make about 2 tbsp of sauce and make sure it tastes okay. then add 1 lb. ground chuck, 0.5 lb. ground sirloin, 3 egg yolks, salt and pepper. form into patties, grill on a hot pan for about 3-4 mins a side. after flipping, i add a piece of swiss to each of derek's patties. in a second pan, i fried some mushrooms with onions and garlic to make his mushroom swiss burger. i prefer mine with arugula and a slice of tomato. i also fried some corn with my fake butter for a side dish. the burgers turned out pretty good, although nowhere as good as the shake shack. i think i need to figure out the "smashing" technique they use.
combining burger recipes!! you are hard core. i can barely follow one at a time and you followed several! looks awesome, too! what was your fake butter??
ReplyDeletehm, i should add a link. my fake butter is olivio. the corn actually turned out really well with just a 0.5 tbsp worth of olivio added and allowing the corn to brown a little. yum.
