Beef Burgers

Prep Time:  1o minutes                  Cooking Time:  20-25 minutes
Yield:   4 or 5 burgers

1 large egg
30 mL (2 tablespoons) heavy cream, coffee cream, or whole milk
½ of an onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
30 mL (2 tablespoons) Dijon mustard
30 mL (2 tablespoons) Worcestershire sauce
5 mL (1 teaspoon) Kosher salt
2.5 mL ( ½ teaspoon) freshly ground pepper

450-550 g (1 – 1/4 pounds) lean ground sirloin

85 mL ( 1/3 cup) bread crumbs

Method:

1.  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, grated onion, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.  Add sirloin, and gently break up meat to fold in the other ingredients.
2.  Gently fold in bread crumbs.  Mix just until ingredients are combined  – do not over mix.
3. Using your hands or a 1/2 cup measuring cup, shape into 4 or 5 burger patties.  Place on a parchment-covered pan or dish and refrigerate for 1/2 hour, to firm up.
4.  At cooking time, preheat grill, grill pan, or saute pan until hot.  Add a little oil.  Saute or grill burgers – 5  or 6 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
5.  Bring out your favourite toppings and condiments and enjoy!
