Grilled Steak Burgers and Caramelized Onions
From chef and author Emeril Lagasse
June 9, 2006

Emeril knows grilling and he shared some secrets with Good Morning America. Try these man-sized burgers for your next cookout.

Ingredients

2 large good-quality hamburger buns or kaiser rolls, split in half

1 pound ground top sirloin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

4 strips applewood-smoked bacon, cooked until crisp and drained

3/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

Condiments of choice, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard

1/2 cup Carmelized Onions

Directions

Preheat the grill and preheat the oven to 350° F. Arrange the buns, split side up, on a baking sheet.

Form the meat into two large patties, 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and sprinkle each side with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip, place 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese in the center of each patty, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes longer for medium-rare. (Alternatively, the patties can be cooked in a large skillet preheated over medium-high heat for the same length time.)

Meanwhile, warm the buns in the oven, about 4 to 5 minutes.

To serve, place the bottom buns on 2 large plates and top with the shredded lettuce. Place the patties on the lettuce and arrange 2 strips of bacon and 1/4 cup of Carmelized Onions on each patty. Place the top buns on each burger and serve with the red bliss potato chips on the side and condiments of choice.

Makes 2 servings.
