American Grilled Beer Burgers Recipe

Talk about a Recipe that is American through and through! Here is an all-American burger recipe I set aside together recently. I employ beer in many of the recipes I construct because it enhances the flavors of a recipe and adds layers of flavor. Be extra patriotic and exercise an American brew for this recipe!

1.5 lb. lean ground beef

1 egg, beaten

2 cloves minced garlic

1 12 oz. bottle beer

The burgers:

In a stout bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef, the egg, 1 clove of minced garlic, 3 tsp. of the brown sugar, the chili powder, and two tbsp. of the beer. create into patties (makes seven or eight exiguous patties) . On a well-oiled grill, grill the burgers, sprinkling the Montreal Steak® seasoning and the seasoned pepper on each side of burgers while grilling. help on toasted hamburger buns and top with beer braised onion sauce (below) .

The beer-braised onion sauce:

Melt the butter in a sauce pan (avoid getting too hot) . Add the onions and the remaining clove of minced garlic and sauté for 5-10 minutes.

Cook until the beer has been well absorbed into the onions and the onions are slightly brown. Add the rest of the beer and simmer for awhile.
