Description
Juicy, seared beef patties paired with a zesty tangy relish made with fresh onions and vinegar. A no-fuss approach to creating bold, balanced flavors with homemade condiments and perfectly formed patties.
Ingredients
1.25 lb ground beef (80/20 blend ideal)
4 large brioche buns (halal-friendly)
½ cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
¼ cup golden onions (Diamond Crystal preferred)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Instructions
Mix vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl
Chop onions finely and add to marinade
Set relish in refrigerator while preparing patties
Portion beef into 4 equal mounds
Create indentation in each patty with thumb
Crumble meat gently without compacting
Preheat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat
Sear patties 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness
Let rest 5 minutes on wire rack
Brush buns with melted butter during final minute of cooking
Notes
Use wire rack for resting patties to prevent sogginess
Freeze patties on baking sheet before forming for better structure
