How to Caramelize Onions
Bourbon caramelized onions add unbelievable flavor to this burger. Onions are naturally sweet, and the simple process of caramelization brings out that natural sweetness and enhances your recipe.
To caramelize onions, you will add all the ingredients (see recipe below) to a skillet on medium-high and cook until most of the liquid evaporates and the onions are fully cooked with a slightly brown color. After caramelizing the onions, set aside and prep your burger.
How to Cook Omaha Steaks Burgers
Burgers are an excellent weeknight meal with minimal preparation necessary. Omaha Steaks Gourmet Burgers can be cooked on the grill, broiled, air fried, or pan fried. You will have a rich, juicy burger with any burger cooking method you choose.
To grill your burgers, place them directly on a pre-heated 450°F grill or use a cast iron skillet on the grill for a crispy sear and natural smoke flavor. Follow the included cooking chart on every Omaha Steaks box for grilling times. Your burger is ready when the internal temperature of the meat reaches 160°F measured with a meat thermometer. To avoid a dry burger, be careful of overcooking. Check out our 4 tips for grilling the perfect burger to guarantee a delicious burger every time.
We recommend onion Kaiser rolls as a perfect complement to this cheeseburger. Don’t forget to toast the rolls on the grill or broiler to add crunch and grilled flavor to your bread.
