🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Begin by slicing the steak very thinly against the grain. This ensures tenderness. A slightly frozen steak is easier to slice thinly.
- In a bowl, mix sliced steak with Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well, ensuring the steak is evenly coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the steak marinates, prepare the caramelized onions. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden brown (about 20-25 minutes). For an extra rich flavor, add a pinch of brown sugar during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- While the onions are cooking, prepare the burger patties. Gently combine ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Be careful not to overmix, which can result in tough burgers.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 4-6 ounces each) and form into patties, slightly larger than the buns. Press a slight indentation into the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
- Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer if you prefer them more well-done. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with slices of provolone cheese and allow it to melt.
- While the burgers cook, prepare the provolone drizzle. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add provolone cheese and heavy cream (or milk) and whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to use.
- Toast the burger buns lightly. This will prevent them from getting soggy.
- Assemble the burgers: Place a burger patty topped with melted provolone on the bottom bun. Add a generous portion of caramelized onions on top of the cheese.
- Drizzle the provolone sauce generously over the caramelized onions and cheese-topped burger.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. A side of crispy fries or onion rings makes a perfect complement to this decadent burger!
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the provolone drizzle.
- If you don't have ribeye, sirloin or chuck steak works well too.
- Toasting the buns is crucial to prevent sogginess from the sauce.
