Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.25 cup red wine (Burgundy or any dry red wine)
• 0.5 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 pcs burger buns
• 2 tbsp butter, softened (for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, red wine, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties with a spatula, as this releases their juices.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, spread softened butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Place them on the grill, cut-side down, and toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Once the burgers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, or caramelized onions, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet Burgundy Burgers!
