Beef and Chorizo Burger
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 pound chorizo sausage
  • 4 soft egg buns or brioche
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter
  • 4 ounces Manchego cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 medium onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 roasted red pepper, quartered
  • 1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
  • 1 pinch powdered saffron
Instructions
1
Begin preparing the burgers: Combine ground sirloin and chorizo in a large bowl, utilizing your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients until they are perfectly blended. Allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the onions and sauce.
2
Prepare the onions: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions, brown sugar, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until the onions have reached a golden brown color, taking approximately 15 minutes to achieve this.
3
Concurrently, prepare the sauce: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until they are tender, then transfer them to a blender. Combine ranch dressing, red pepper, paprika, and saffron in the blender; pulse until the mixture is fairly smooth. Refrigerate the sauce until it's required.
4
Complete the burgers: Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grill surface. Shape the meat mixture into four patties, slightly larger than the buns.
5
Cook burgers on the preheated grill until they are cooked through, taking around 5 minutes per side. Split the buns in half and spread butter on the inside surfaces. Toast the buns briefly on the grill.
6
Place burgers onto the buns and top with caramelized onions, ranch sauce, and Manchego cheese.
