The Oklahoma Onion Burger
The Oklahoma Onion burger first came to our attention a few years ago from burger connoisseur and overall hero George Motz. A style or pattv that originally comes from the diners of Oklahoma where balls of freshly ground beef would be smashed into the grill with super thinly sliced onions, creating something which is way more than the sum of its parts. The thinly sliced onions sweat with the meat juices and caramelize when you flip the burger.
It’s an awesome experience, you get sweet caramelized onion plus lots of little gnarly bits that catch on the grill compiled with the juicy patty, for an umami hit that is insanely addictive!
Ingredients:
- Thinly sliced white onions (as think as possible)
- 2 x 30z beef patty balls ( or 4 if you’re feeling really hungry
- American cheese
- Burger seasoning
- American mustard (optional)
Method
- Place your patty ball on the grill and top with a silly amount of sliced onions. You want almost 50/50 in quantity so the onions spread all over the patty and hang off the side.
- Smash the onions into the patty on the grill with your spatula or burger smasher
- Season and allow to cook for 3 minutes.
- Flip patty and cook for a further 3 minutes, add cheese and bun lid and steam
- Serve and enjoy, you might want to give them a few minutes to cool down these burgers hold the heat like crazy and you will burn the roof of vour mouth off. Although they are so damn tasty it’s worth the pain if you can’t wait
Note
You can take your Oklahoma style to the next level by making it animal style, squirt some ballpark mustard on to the patty and onions before flipping for the ultimate regional burger combo experience.
The Beefy Boys have two amazing restaurants located in Hereford and Shrewsbury and are doing incredible things with local ingredients – even winning international awards for their burgers!
