Steakhouse Burgers – Beef patties are seasoned with beef bouillon and Worcestershire sauce, topped with caramelized onions and a homemade aioli and served on a sesame seed bun.

There’s just something about a good burger that just hits the spot. It can mend any troubles before it (even if only temporarily) and make you let out a sigh with every bite.

We don’t eat a lot of burgers around here but when we do, it’s gotta be good. Full fat, juicy, meaty, and savory. These Steakhouse Burgers achieve just that. And, believe it or not, without the need for any cheese. The tender, sweet onions and the creamy aioli give you all the flavor and texture you need so you won’t miss the cheese one bit.

Here are my incredible Steakhouse Burgers!

Making the aioli

The most surprising element of this burger is the aioli. It’s made with a mayo base and a little ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh, chopped parsley. All you do is mix all the ingredients together and it’s ready.

The key to sauces that aren’t cooked is to give them time to develop flavor. So the most important thing to remember is to make them first, above all else.

Cooking the onions

Caramelized onions are super simple to make and produce mind-blowing results. Who could have guessed that cooking the onions on medium heat for 10 minutes will turn crunchy, spicy onions into soft and sweet pockets of flavor?!

All you do is slice them thin, place them in a nonstick skillet with melted butter, and cook for about 10 minutes or until they turn super soft and golden brown.

Making the burgers

The burgers are made with 80/20 beef, which means 80% lean meat and 20% fat. This means the beef is pretty fatty (for reference, “lean” ground beef is about 93% lean). Fatty beef produces a juicy burger.

The beef is mixed with a quarter of a crushed beef bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Be very careful to mix the beef JUST until combined. Mixing the beef too much will make it tough.

Form the beef into four patties and cook on medium-high heat. Cook in a very hot pan for 2 minutes on each side.

Tips and Tricks

  1. Make the sauce ahead. Sauces that are not cooked need time to develop flavor. The sooner you can make the sauce, the deeper the flavor will get and the better it will taste.
  2. Don’t overmix the beef. Ground beef gets tough when mixed for too long. So mix the beef with the other ingredients just until combined and then form the patties.
  3. Toast the buns. These hearty, juicy burgers need a strong structure. So make sure to toast the buns so they don’t fall apart from the weight and juice of the burger and onions.
  4. Hot skillet. You must have a very hot pan before adding the burgers. Otherwise, they won’t brown or turn crispy on the outside.

Steakhouse Burgers

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time35 mins
Servings: 4 burgers

Ingredients

For the burgers:
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 16 ounces 80/20 ground beef
  • ¼ cube beef boullion crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon ketchup
  • ½ tablespoons yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 sesame seed hamburger buns slightly toasted
For the aioli:
  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • ½ tablespoon ketchup
  • ½ tablespoon yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Mix all aioli ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until the burgers are done.
  • Add butter to large nonstick saute pan and set to medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to help get the onions a little mushy. Cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat. 
  • While onions cook, mix ground beef, crushed boullion cube, worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 large patties. Heat a cast-iron pan over medium high heat with a large drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add patties and cook for 2 minutes or until bottom started to blacken. Flip patties and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until burgers reach desired doneness. Turn off heat. 
  • Place a patty on the bottom half of the burger buns. Top with caramelized onions. Spread 1½ tablespoons of aioli on the top half of the burger bun. Place on top of burger with onions. Serve burgers immediately.

    We thought these would be a good quick meal and we were correct. We added a bit of crispy bacon to our burgers and had a great lunch. We will make these up again.
