BURGER 101



Burger 101 image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 thin slices of white American cheese or Homemade Queso, recipe follows
4 hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted
Lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, onion and pickles, BBQ potato chips, Dijon mustard and ketchup, for garnish (if using American cheese; optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk, plus more as needed, heated
1 cup grated Monterey Jack from a wedge (not pre-grated)
1 cup grated white sharp cheddar from a wedge (not pre-grated)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Sliced pickled jalapenos, crushed tortilla chips and pico de gallo, for garnish (if using Homemade Queso)
  • Heat your griddle or large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the oil and let heat until it begins to shimmer.
  • Shape the ground beef with your hands into 4 round patties about 3/4 inch thick; season each burger on both sides with salt and pepper. Make a divot in the center of each burger. Add the burgers to the griddle or skillet, divot-sides up and cook, flipping once, until brown on both sides and cooked to medium doneness, about 8 minutes, total.
  • IF USING SLICED CHEESE: Top each burger with 2 slices of the cheese. Carefully, add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover tightly with a lid. If using a griddle, squirt a bit of water from a squeeze bottle then cover 1 burger at a time with a melting dome or metal bowl. Count to 10. Lift the lid or dome. If the cheese is totally melted, place the burgers on the bun bottoms; if not, cover again and count 5 more seconds. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles, potato chips, Dijon mustard and ketchup, if desired.
  • IF USING QUESO SAUCE: Place each burger on a bun bottom and top with a few tablespoons of the queso sauce. Top with the jalapenos, tortilla chips and pico de gallo.
  • Cover the burgers with the bun tops and serve immediately.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over high heat Add the flour and cook, whisking, until pale blond, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the 2 cups of hot milk, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and the raw flour taste has cooked out, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in all 3 cheeses until smooth. Whisk in more hot milk if the queso is too thick. Season with salt, black pepper and cayenne.

1 tablespoon canola or grapeseed oil
12 slices pepperoni
1 pound ground beef

Wipe out the skillet and return to the heat.
  • Place the bagels in the skillet cut-side down to toast until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Flip the bagels over and spread marinara sauce across each, then top them with cheese. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese begins to melt.
  • Sandwich burgers and pepperoni between pizza bagels and serve.
