Juicy burgers spiked with a red wine reduction then topped with melted cheese and red wine caramelized onions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups red wine
- 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
-
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar and wine stirring until dissolved. Bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes to reduce wine to about 1 cup. Let cool to room temperature.
-
While wine is reducing, caramelize onions in medium saute pan. Add 1/4 cup of red wine reduction to onions and saute for additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
-
In large bowl, loosely combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper. Add 1/3 cup room temperature wine reduction and fully mix to incorporate with the beef – being careful not to overmix.
-
Pre-heat grill to medium-high and form 6 burger patties with the ground beef mixture. Place patties on grill and cook to desired doneness, about 4-6 minutes per side. Top with cheese and cook for additional 1 minute to let cheese melt.
-
Stack burgers on the bottom burger bun, top with caramelized onions, and drizzle with remaining red wine reduction. Finish topping with your favorite ingredients, top of bun, and serve immediately.
