Instructions
Caramelized Onions Guinness Burger Instructions
- Whisk the beer, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, and serrano smoked chilli powder together in a large bowl. Add the beef to the mixture and lightly mix with your hands. Form the meat mixture into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to incorporate the flavours.
- Spray the grill with grilling spray and preheat to medium-high heat. When the grill is already hot, grill the burgers until your desired doneness. Grill the burgers for about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. If you overcook the marinated burgers, they will become tough.
Caramelized Onions Instructions
- Heat the oil and butter on medium-low in an extra-large skillet. (You may also divide the onions into two pans, but then divide the butter and olive oil.)
- Add half the onions to the pan and cook until they are slightly cooked down.
- Add the remainder of the onions, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until all the onions have cooked down. (If you are doing two pans, this speeds up the process. When both pans of onions have cooked down slightly, add all the onions to one extra-large pan, season and continue with the recipe.)
- After the onions are slightly cooked down, add the brown sugar, stir gently. Reduce the heat to low, occasionally stirring for about 50 minutes or until the onions have reduced, look golden, and are tender.
- You can bring the onions to room temperature, place them in a covered container, and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.
Guinness Burger Sauce Instructions
- Place the Guinness beer in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook the beer until it has reduced to half the liquid, whisking often. This process will take about 20 minutes.
- Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, honey, sea salt, pepper, and serrano smoked chilli powder in a medium bowl. Once the beer has been reduced to half, add the ketchup mixture to the reduced beer and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- You want the sauce to almost get to the texture of ketchup or store-bought barbecue sauce. Use the sauce immediately or place it in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days. This burger is better than most pubs!
