PHILLY CHEESESTEAK BURGER

I love mixing food from different cultures and cuisines to make something special but this time I've made a fun mash-up of two different foods from the same country.

If you've followed me for a while you already know how much I love mixing food from different cultures and cuisines to make something special. The idea for this one is similar but we're actually doing a fun mash-up of two different foods from the same country this time. This is a Philly cheesesteak burger, a minced ribeye steak patty, thinly sliced beef sautéed with onions, provolone, and American cheese with sriracha caramel and garlic mayo. The flavours in this one are outrageous so LETS MUNCH!!!

Ingredients

• 200g Ribeye Steak

• 1 sweet white onion 

• Sazon alho (or any garlic seasoning) 

• Brioche bun 

• Slice provolone 

• Slice American cheese

• 4 slices pickled Jalopeno 

• Garlic mayo -

• 1 egg yolk 

• Tsp mustard 

• Juice of half a lemon 

• 100ml sunflower oil (or any neutral oil) 

• 2 garlic cloves 

• Tbsp sriracha caramel (substitute for honey and sriracha) 

• Salt to taste 

Method:

Step 1: Thinly slice 1/3 of the ribeye steak, you want these slices to be as thin as possible (tip: place the 1/3 of the steak in the freezer for 15 minutes which will help get thin slices).

Step 2: Finely mince the remaining 2/3 of the steak with a cleaver and form into a ball. You can use beef mince if you can’t be bothered to mince it yourself, but it does make a difference. 

Step 3: Pre-heat your pan (ideally a cast iron or stainless steel) to medium heat

Step 4: Thinly slice the onion (making sure to save a small amount to put in the burger later) and add it to the pan with a small amount of oil.

Step 5: Sauté the onion until it becomes soft and develops a little bit of caramelisation.

Step 6: Add the thinly sliced steak with garlic seasoning, and a pinch of salt. 

Step 7: Cook this for 2-3 minutes till the beef is no longer red then push to one side of the pan.

Step 8: Slice your bun in half and place in the pan to toast, put that to the side when ready.

Step 9: Add the minced beef ball, season with salt, and smash. I have this fancy burger smasher thing but you can use anything at hand, I think the flat bottom of a plate rubbed with a little oil works best.

Step 10: Cook until a nice crust develops and the beef is almost cooked through then flip.  

Step 11: Top with the cheese and top with the beef and onion slices. 

Step 12: Build the burger! Start with adding the mayo to the bun, then the jalapeños and the fresh onion you saved earlier, too with the patty, cheese, and Philly steak. Finally, finish with the top bun and make sure there's a little mayo on that. 

Mayo method:

Step 1: To make the mayo, add the egg yolk, mustard, and lemon juice to a bowl and whisk while adding the oil a drop at a time (literally).

Step 2: Once it starts getting a little thicker you can add the oil in larger amounts, whisking constantly. The more oil you add the thicker it will be so this is personal preference.

Step 3: Once it’s reached the desired consistency, grate in the garlic cloves, add the sriracha caramel, and season with salt to taste.
