Gorgonzola
Burger
From the kitchen at Almira
Ingredients:
2 - 1/4 lb 85/15 Ground Beef patties
1/2 Cup or 1 Stick butter
Fresh Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
Fresh sliced mushrooms
Fresh lettuce
Hamburger buns
Instructions:
At least two to three hours ahead, melt
butter in a sauce pan add mushrooms,
allow to simmer on low.
You can use any high
quality 85/15 ground beef as long as you make your
patties uniformly identical. They need to be approx.
3 1/2 to 4 inches across
and 1/2 inch thick. My choice is the (4
oz.)
Omaha Steak Burger
Place about a "golf ball" sized amount
of gorgonzola cheese on the center of
the bottom patty, place second top patty over
cheese, pinch the edges of the
patties together, and grill.
When it comes to grilling these, I like
to heat my grill up pretty hot, place the burger on
the grill, close the lid for approx. 4 mins. then flip
and turn the burners all the way down to low for
approx. 6-8 mins.
The grill will still stay hot enough to finish
cooking, the burgers will sear nicely
when you flip them, and the longer time at lower temp
will allow the cheese to
melt uniformly between the patties.
Plate and top with your sautéed
mushrooms, and serve "without" condiments
on a bed of lettuce, with your choice of grilled
gourmet bun.
