Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup stout beer
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 4 burger buns
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the stout glazed bacon: In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until it starts to crisp. Pour stout beer into the pan and reduce heat, allowing the beer to create a glossy glaze on the bacon. Cook until bacon is crisp and glazed, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside on paper towels.
- Create crispy onions: Thinly slice onions and separate into rings. Heat oil in a separate pan to 350°F. Lightly coat onion rings in flour, then fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- Prepare sriracha aioli: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with sriracha sauce. Whisk until well combined and set aside in refrigerator.
- Form burger patties: Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions. Gently shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center to prevent bulging during cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook burgers: Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Cook burgers for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Avoid pressing down on burgers to retain juiciness.
- Assemble burgers: Lightly toast burger buns. Spread sriracha aioli on bottom bun. Place cooked patty, top with stout glazed bacon, and crown with crispy onions. Add top bun and serve immediately.
Tips
- * To achieve the perfect crispy onions, make sure to not overcrowd the pan and fry in batches if necessary. * When cooking the burgers, resist the temptation to press down on them to prevent losing juices and ending up with a dry patty. * For an extra crispy bacon, pat it dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture. * If you want to take your sriracha aioli to the next level, add some minced garlic or lemon juice to give it an extra boost of flavor. * To ensure that your burgers are cooked to your desired level of doneness, use a thermometer to check the internal temperature.
