RECIPE: Steakburger with Caramelized Onion and Steakhouse Aioli

For the steakhouse aioli, combine well.
Preheat your char broiler or cast iron pan to high.
Steakburgers deserve a serious sear- get your surface smoking hot before cooking.
Keep the patties cold until just before cooking – warm beef smears and cooks unevenly.
Generously season both sides of the patty with salt just before cooking.
Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent dome- shaped burgers.
Cook the patties 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium (adjust timing for preferred doneness).
Add the cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Rest before serving, let the burger sit for 2–3 minutes post-cook to reabsorb juices.
Lightly butter and toast bun on grill or skillet until golden.
Assemble the burger, add steak sauce aioli to the bottom bun, followed by the patty, onions, and finally the top bun.
