Ingredients
  

For the Patty:

  • 500g Beef cheek meat Beef cheek is incredibly tender when cooked properly. It adds a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture to the burger, which elevates the experience compared to traditional ground beef.
  • 100g Beef tendon (finely chopped) Beef tendon is a fantastic source of collagen and provides a chewy texture that complements the softness of the beef cheek meat. It also boosts the nutritional profile of the burger.
  • 1 tbsp Smoked paprika Adds a warm, smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the beef, giving the patty a slightly charred taste even without grilling.
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder Garlic powder enhances the umami flavors and adds a savory depth to the beef patty.
  • 1 tbsp Corned beef spices This spice mix brings an aromatic blend of flavors including cloves, allspice, and peppercorns. It’s traditionally used in corned beef but works wonders in this burger to deepen the complexity of flavors.
  • 1 Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste The essentials! Proper seasoning brings out the natural flavors of the beef cheek and tendon.

Toppings

  • Smoked beef chuck roast (sliced thinly) Adding slices of smoked beef chuck roast to the burger gives an extra layer of rich, smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the patty.
  • Beef pepperoni (crispy) Thin slices of crispy beef pepperoni add a satisfying crunch and a hint of spice, making this burger even more exciting to bite into.
  • Caramelized onions Caramelized onions add sweetness and balance out the savory elements of the beef.
  • Sliced pickles Pickles bring a tangy crunch to the burger, which contrasts nicely with the richness of the beef and onions.
  • Lettuce and tomato Fresh lettuce and tomato give the burger a crisp, refreshing bite, lightening the richness of the other ingredients.
  • Homemade aioli This creamy condiment, made with garlic, olive oil, and lemon, adds a tangy, rich element to each bite.

Instructions
 

For the Beef Patty

  • Mixing the Patty Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, combine the beef cheek meat, beef tendon, smoked paprika, garlic powder, corned beef spices, salt, and pepper. Gently mix the ingredients by hand, ensuring everything is well incorporated but not overworked. Overmixing can lead to a tough burger, and we want to keep these patties tender and juicy.

  • Shaping the Patties:
    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb. This helps the patty cook evenly and prevents it from puffing up during grilling.

  • Cooking the Patties:
    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a juicy, medium-rare burger, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). If using a skillet, you may want to add a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Toppings and Assembly

  • Caramelizing the Onions:
    In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the onions become golden brown and sweet.

  • Crisping the Beef Pepperoni:
    While the onions are caramelizing, place slices of beef pepperoni in a separate pan over medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until the pepperoni becomes crispy. Set aside.
  • Toasting the Buns:
    While your patties are finishing up, toast your buns in the oven or on the grill for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
  • Assembling the Burger:
    Start by spreading a layer of homemade aioli on the bottom bun. Place your juicy beef patty on top, followed by a slice or two of smoked beef chuck roast, crispy beef pepperoni, caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce, and tomato. Finish it off with the top bun and you’re ready to enjoy the Bold & Beefy Hamburger!
