Burger with caramelised onions.

in #life7 years ago

Burgers on my Weber I could make blind. But the green egg is new to me. Now to learn to grill burgers on a new device you don't go out and buy the most expensive meat. That be silly.

So I bought meat that's called riblappen in Dutch to grind (and if someone could give me the English term for it I'll be very grateful cause I been looking for it for ages.)

The burgers turned out fine but there is room for improvement.

Last year I bought this meat grinder. One of the best investment I ever made for 40 bucks. The meat had some nice fat. Perfect for burgers. €10/kg.

It takes more time to assemble and clean the grinder than to actually grind the meat (800g in a less than a minute)

I needed 6 burgers. The fastest way to divide the meat is to just make 6 small balls and start adding meat to each of them one by one till you run out. They will be roughly equal.

I use a press to make burgers. It creates a little dent in the center so they stay flat while grilling.

I guess this is sort of a kitchen episode. I cut 4 big red onions.

I cooked them in a pan with some oil for 10 minutes. Then added butter, sugar and balsamic vinegar. And reduced them down.

Time to grill

Buns go on first always.

I'm just going, to be honest, and show you classic grill error number 1. Not hot enough. this was 200C.

Preparing the bun. Keeping it simple. A little lettuce and the onions.

End Result. Now the onions were a great success and tasted delicious with the meat which was perfectly juicy. In fact, the whole burger was delicious but that doesn't mean there wasn't room for improvement. I think I need to make the burger thicker next time and grill on a higher heat to get better grill marks.

Looks gastronomical! Lol. Hamburgers are a treat these days. Love them, but like everything, in moderation.Riblappen , as far as I know is Rib Flap. It's not rib tips, but the meaty hunk( flap) of meat near it. BTW...where was the side drink?

Thanks! Now I know what to call it. And of course burgers in moderation! The side drink was there don't worry, lol. It's not in the pictures.

Burgers look amazing! I'm a big fan of caramelized onions and will give your way of fixing them a try. We always have the butcher ground up some top round steak for burgers. Not sure if this is the same cut you had or not, but my grandfather always had this done and the habit just filtered down to me.

Thanks man! When can we expect a food post from you :)

This looks insanely delicious, much better than McDonald's burger ..One thing is for sure, you are a real foodie just like me. 100% upvoted!

This beats the McD burger every day!

Nope. This is not a post for me when I'm trying to lose 10 kg lol.

lol, I'm sorry :)

Yes, food! Caramelised onions! I want them. Burger King is nowhere near with this work of art lol.

Hey, by the way. I've started blogging too, was inspired by you, man! ❤
Thanks for always being here.

I'll check out your blog now!

Looks soo damn good. Maybe in the future I can purchase a steempowered meat grinder and prepare those delicious burgers as well.

I hope so man! meat grinders are awesome!

I am buying a Weber soon. I'm not quite ready for the green egg yet, maybe next year. I'll be grilling burgers, of course, but I intend to focus on fish and chicken for my blog. Thanks for the inspiration

I have seen your cooking, believe me, you are ready! Would be magical to see what you can do with a green egg!

My day is filled with trouble. I really appreciate the view from your green egg. Thanks for the post!

Thanks man!

BBG Burger !!!

I looked it up left, right and centre when I posted about Beastron, and all I got in return from multiple sources was that Riblappen = Rib (not to be confused with sparerib)

Probably only Dutch cows have it :)

:'D Well then, aren't we the lucky ones !

OMG. These burgers are looking amazing. Really delicious. Actually I am thinking to keep a journal to write all your food recepies and use them at my home. From looking at pictures, you're an awesome cook @exyle.
Actually, I missed your morning video as I was busy today . but I'll definitely watch it soon.

Looks realy tastefull! Did you try the insanity burger from Jamie Oliver? Heard from a friend it is realy, realy good when the green egg is used!

Never tried, just checked the burger out. Interesting putting sauce and lettuce together. Bacon is always good. Looks like a fun burger to try!

Looks tasty, I believe it tastes and smells the same lovely. Can I give you advice? Next time try to add a slice of pickled cucumber on the top of meat, when you assemble all stuff together. Bon appetite!)

I'll keep that tip in mind! So many possibilities when it comes to burgers!

Before I went Vegan I was eating burgers every day. These look amazing

looks great.. gonna take the advice on the onions :D balsamico FTW

Now this is a perfect burger ! Great job !

Mannnn, always making me hungry 😂🤤

Those patties look grilled to perfection.
It looks as good as some burgers you can get at gourmet restaurants haha
Nice dry bun (I hate soggy buns)with a bed of crispy lettuce with a nice dollop of sauce.
Well I'm really hungry now haha

I would definitely eat that burger ! Even if I were on a diet :D

Nice recipes, nice pics and even nicer food. Upvoted and following.

I love burguers and pizzas, my favorite staples. And yours seems so delicious.

Looks pretty good!

Look like a real expert in the grille area. You should open a grille restaurant.

Ziet er goed uit, ik dacht ze vanavond te ruiken toen ik naar CS liep. ;)

That meat on the pan with the onions looked delicious and so did the burger. Am sure it tasted as great as it looked. Thank you for sharing

OMG! Your onions look like bacon!
I'm starving now.
