Black and Bleu cheese burger

Thursday, June 29, 2006

Black and Bleu cheese burger

1/2 lb ground sirloin

1/2 lb ground chuck

4 tbs cayenne pepper

4 tbs A1 Sauce

1 cup bleu cheese crumbles

1 cup grated or minced white onion

Mixture of 2 cups flour, plus tablespoon of each salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder

Onion straws

Onion bun (toasted)

Salt and pepper to taste

Burger patties: Mix equal parts of ground chuck and sirloin with pepper, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, grated or chopped onions and A1 Sauce. Form into 1/4-pound patties, forming around 1 to 2 teaspoons of crumbled bleu cheese.

Place in refrigerator for about an hour (this helps the burgers to set up).

Onion straws: Mix flour, rest of Cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Slice onions thinly. Dip in buttermilk. Shake off excess. Dip in flour mixture and shake off excess.

Fry onions in about three cups vegetable oil (more depending on the side of your pan) heated to 375 degrees. Set on plate with towel to dry.

Grill patties over high heat about five minutes on each side, depending on thickness. DO NOT turn too frequently. Move patties off direct heat. Brush on A1, both sides, and return to heat to form a crust on outside.

Grill buttered onion bun; about one minute per side. Dress burger with bleu cheese, bacon and onion straws.

Have fun

'Quantum of Solace'[movies]

Men have curious ways of getting over a romantic betrayal. Some try avoidance. Some go on the rebound. James Bond's method, as seen in "Quantum of Solace," involves shooting, ducking, running, bleeding, locking dudes in car trunks and the massive destruction of parts of Italy and Bolivia. Obviously Daniel Craig is back as the shoot first, drink cocktails later version of 007 in the follow-up to 2006's "Casino Royale". More »
