Ultimate Peppercorn Burgers Print Recipe E-mail Recipe
Featured Recipe
These bistro-style burgers are designed to be cooked until well-done, yet they are juicy and flavorful. How? A bread “paste” lends incredible moistness.
Ingredients:
1 small onion
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
2 slices firm white sandwich bread
1/3 cup (75 mL) milk
1 tbsp (15 mL) Crushed Peppercorn & Garlic Rub
1 lb (500 g) 85% lean ground beef such as chuck
4 onion rolls, split
Additional toppings such as steak sauce, sliced tomatoes or cooked bacon (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat Grill Pan over medium heat 5 minutes. As pan heats, slice onion crosswise into 1/2-in. (1-cm) rings using Chef's Knife; brush with oil. Cook onion 2-3 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and onion is tender. Remove from pan; tent with foil and set aside.
2. As onion cooks, remove and discard crusts from bread; tear bread into pieces. Combine bread, milk and peppercorn rub in Stainless (4-qt./4-L) Mixing Bowl. Mix until a smooth paste forms. Sprinkle ground beef over bread paste and mix gently until incorporated.
3. Form meat mixture into four thin patties, about 4 in. (10 cm) in diameter. Grill patties 3-4 minutes or until grill marks appear. Turn patties over using Jumbo Slotted Turner; cook 3-4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F
(71°C) and patties are no longer pink in center. Transfer burgers to paper towel-lined plate.
4. To serve, place burgers in rolls. Top with onions and serve with additional toppings, if desired.

Cook’s Tips: We recommend using 85% lean ground chuck for best flavor and tenderness. Other types of ground beef such as ground round can be substituted.
If desired, 3 garlic cloves, pressed, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) coarsely ground black pepper can be substituted for the peppercorn rub.
