Pub Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• For the sauce: Stir up the sour cream, horseradish, mustard, chives, dill and garlic in a small bowl and adjust salt to taste.
• For the burgers: Arrange the bacon on wire-rack-lined rimmed baking sheet or slotted pan. Bake until very crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Combine the beef with grated onion, salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce and score into 4 portions. Form 4 patties of the beef mixture thinner at center than edges for even cooking. Cook patties in a little oil, about 7 minutes, turning occasionally. Then melt 2 slices of cheese on the patties for a minute or so.
• While the patties cook, toast the English muffins. Lightly butter bottoms and add thinly sliced dill pickle chips.
• Place burgers on buttered side of muffin and top with 3 half-slices of bacon, watercress and horseradish sauce.

Steps:

• Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, shallot, Dijon mustard, egg, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Refrigerate mixture to incorporate flavors, 20 minutes to 2 hours.
• Form ground beef mixture into 6 patties.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat; lay pancetta slices in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook until pancetta begins to sweat, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pancetta from skillet and keep warm.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook patties on the preheated grill until burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well burgers. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Place 1 burger into each of the buns; top burger with a pancetta slice.

Steps:

• In a bowl, gently mix the beef, beer, mustard, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper together.
• Form mixture into 4 patties, each ¾ inch thick.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over med-high heat; cook the burgers 3-5 minutes per side for medium or until desired doneness.
• Remove patties from skillet; add in the scallions; cook 1-2 minutes, stirring, until just wilted.
• Serve patties on toasted sesame seed buns with some pan sauce on top.
