Method

Burger Patty

1

Prepare the Meat

In a bowl, combine the grass-fed beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

2

Form Patties

Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

3

Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

Toppings

4

Sauté the Poblanos

While the patties are cooking, slice the poblano peppers in half and remove the seeds. Sauté in a bit of oil over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred.

5

Add Cheese

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each patty and cover until melted.

6

Prepare the Mustard Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the mustang sauce ingredients (if homemade) or prepare the store-bought sauce for serving.

Bun

7

Butter the Buns

Spread butter on the cut side of each burger bun.

8

Toast the Buns

Toast the buttered buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

Assemble

9

Build the Burger

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, followed by sautéed poblano peppers, crispy fried onions, and a drizzle of mustang sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy your Midnight Cowboy Burger!
