BURGERS

1 pound grass-fed beef patties

4 slices American cheese slices

2 medium Onions

1 cup pickles

4 leaves leafy lettuce

1 tablespoon Mayonnaise

4 buns burger buns

2 tablespoons Butter

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Method

BURGERS

Prepare the Onions

Slice the onions into thin rings. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

Cook the Beef Patties

While the onions are caramelizing, shape the grass-fed beef into 4 equal patties. Season each patty with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Place a slice of American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Prepare the Buns

In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Lightly toast the burger buns in the butter until they are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Assemble the Burgers

Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer each with a leaf of lettuce, a cooked beef patty with melted cheese, a generous amount of caramelized onions, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
