Preparing the Patty Mix

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gourmet burger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Gently mix the ingredients until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can toughen the patty.

Shaping the Patties

  • Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions.

  • Roll each portion into a ball and flatten gently into patties about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  • Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.

  • Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked gouda on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese perfectly.

Toasting the Buns

  • While the patties cook, lightly toast the brioche buns in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown.

Assembling the Burger

  • Spread a thin layer of balsamic glaze on the bottom bun.
  • Place the cooked patty with melted gouda on top.
  • Layer with arugula, tomato slices, and red onion for a burst of freshness.
  • Drizzle a little more balsamic glaze over the toppings for extra flavor.
  • Top with the toasted bun and press down lightly to hold everything together.
