Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot, (minced)
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- ½ ounce dried porcini mushrooms, (soaked in one cup of hot water for 20 minutes, squeezed dry and minced (save the soaking liquid!))
- ½ pound shiitake mushrooms, (stems removed and thinly sliced)
- ½ pound cremini mushrooms, (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons brandy or cognac
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 large red onions, (thinly sliced)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
- 4 hamburger rolls
Steps
-
In a mixing bowl, gently combine beef with the salt and pepper. Divide the meat into 8 equal portions. Quickly form each portion into a flat patty, handling the meat as little as possible. Sprinkle 4 of the patties with two tablespoons of the gorgonzola cheese. Top with the remaining four patties of beef and pinch the sides together to form a seal, indent the center. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, then set out at room temperature until ready to grill.
-
Heat the butter in a large skillet until melted. Add the shallot, garlic and thyme and sauté for 3 minutes or until the shallot is tender. Add all of the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium-high heat until the mushrooms begin to brown. Remove the pan from heat and add the brandy and reserved mushroom-soaking liquid. Continue to cook this mixture until all of the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender.
-
In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onions, cover and cook over medium-low heat until onions are very soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the vinegar and brown sugar. Cook until the liquid has almost evaporated and a thick syrup has formed. Add the heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste.
-
Grill the burgers until desired amount of doneness. Place one burger on each bun and top with one tablespoon of the onion marmalade and a heaping spoonful of the sautéed mushrooms.
