Cabernet and Gorgonzola Burger Sliders Recipe
Ingredients:
16 oz organic ground beef with at least 20% fat (makes three 1/3 lb patties)
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium red onion peeled, cut into half and sliced into 1/4 inch rings
½ cup good Cabernet Sauvignon (we used our Mariana 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, great in the burger & to drink with the burger!)
1 package of Italian Gorgonzola Cheese
Mixed greens of your choice (butter lettuce, arugula, or iceberg lettuce)
½ cup of spicy mayo (Mix some Sriracha hot sauce or other hot sauce into ½ cup of mayo)
Hamburger buns
Method:
1. Divide the 16 oz of beef into three portions of about 1/3 lb for each patty. You can use more beef and more buns to make enough for your party.
2. Shape each beef portion with your hands into a round patty about ½ inch wider in diameter than your bun. Make a depression in the middle of the patty. This will help ensure that the middle will not bulge out after cooking.
3. Cook the sliced red onions with 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium hot sauté pan. Season with some Hot sauce if you want. Cook onions about 5 minutes. Add the Cabernet and simmer until reduced to a syrupy liquid. Remove and set aside.
4. Heat up your grill
5. Put patties onto the hot grill, close the grill cover and cook to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add some crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and wait until the cheese melts. Remove.
6. Toast the inside surfaces of your burger buns on your grill. Remove once toasted and browned.
7. Spread some spicy mayo on your buns, add greens of your choice on the bottom half, add your melted Gorgonzola beef patty, top with Cabernet onions, more spicy mayo, and the top half of your bun.
8. Sit back and enjoy this great classic with a glass of our Mariana 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, DELICIOUS! STEMS UP!
