Au Jus Onion Burgers Recipes

BEST FRENCH DIP BURGERS & AU JUS

Steps:

• Make Onions First: In large cast iron skillet or frying pan, melt butter. Add onions. Season to taste with salt, both peppers, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sauté over medium low heat until softened and golden brown, stirring frequently. When done, set aside.
• For Burgers: Divide 2 pounds of hamburger into 4 equal parts. Press into oblong 3 1/2 inch by 8 inch patties (1/2 inch thick) onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Press centers a little so when they cook and plump, they'll be flat and not too rounded. Season tops with lots of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Heat rectangular cast iron griddle using the flat side over medium heat to get hot using two stovetop burners. Oil a little if your cast iron isn't well seasoned. Place patties onto hot grill seasoned side down, season other sides. Turn heat down to medium low. When nicely browned, turn and brown other side cooking until desired doneness inside. Top each with 2 slices of cheese torn in half overlapping pieces. When melted, remove burgers to hoagie roll bottoms.
• Top each with sautéed onions, and serve hot with warmed au jus (or beef consommé) for dunking. (*Link to my easy homemade au jus recipe provided in this blog post.)

AU JUS ONION BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix the beef with the worchestershire sauce, garlic, Wasabi (if using) & pepper.
• Shape into 4 patties to match the shape and size of your rolls.
• Cook the patties in a skillet. Have heat on high, brown one side of the patties, turn heat to medium, flip the patties, add the onion and cover the pan.
• Contimue cooking until the patty is nicely browned and the onions are golden, stir the onions a few times to prevent burning while cooking.
• Pour in the onion soup, turn heat to high, bring to a simmer and cook covered a further 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile Toast the inside of your bun, top with cheese(I like to broil the bun so the cheese melts).
• Place meat and onions on the bun.
• Serve with the" Au Jus" in individual cups large enough to dip the burger.
• Enjoy.
