Ingredients

Jim Beam Black® Bourbon Onions

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 1/4 cup beef au jus*
• 1/2 cup Jim Beam Black® Bourbon

Grilled French Dip Burger With Jim Beam Black® Bourbon Onions

• 4 6 oz. Omaha Steaks Burgers
• 4 square ciabatta sandwich buns
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, divided
• 6 ounces brie, divided into 8 slices
• 1 cup Jim Beam Black® Bourbon onions, divided
• 2 cups beef au jus*, warmed

Instructions

Jim Beam Black® Bourbon Onions

• Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add butter and allow it to brown slightly.
• Add sliced onions and cook, stirring continuously, for about 10 minutes, or until onions begin to caramelize.

• When onions are fully caramelized, add beef au jus and Jim Beam Black® Bourbon.
• Cook until onions have a nice brown color, remove from heat, and reserve until plating.

Grilled French Dip Burger With Jim Beam Black® Bourbon Onions

• Trim a thin slice off top and bottom of ciabatta buns to create flat surface area; then slice each bun in half horizontally.
• Lightly and equally spread mayonnaise on outside of buns to enhance browning.
• Pre-heat grill or large saucepan to medium heat and place buns mayonnaise-side down. Top each bun half with brie cheese slice and leave long enough to lightly toast bun and melt cheese, about 1 minute.
• Grill or pan-fry burgers until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, as per a meat thermometer.
• Top each burger equally with Beam Black® Bourbon onions, then place burgers on one side of toasted buns and top with remaining bun.
• Cut in half and serve with hot beef au jus for dipping.
• *Chef’s Note: For simple au jus, mix 1 bouillon cube with 2 cups boiling water.
