🍔 Classic Steakhouse Burger 🥩🔥

Servings: 4 🍽️

Prep Time: 15 minutes ⏱️

Cooking Time: 10 minutes 🔥

Total Time: 25 minutes ⏲️

📝 Ingredients:

500g ground beef (80/20 for best juiciness) 🥩

1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒

1 teaspoon salt 🧂

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ⚫

1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄

1 teaspoon onion powder 🧅

4 brioche burger buns 🍞

4 slices cheddar cheese (or Swiss cheese) 🧀

4 lettuce leaves 🥬

1 large tomato, sliced 🍅

1 red onion, thinly sliced 🧅

Pickles, as desired 🥒

🍔 Steakhouse Burger Sauce:

3 tablespoons mayonnaise 🥄

1 tablespoon ketchup 🍅

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 🟡

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 🥫

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️

Salt & pepper, to taste 🧂

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Prepare the Burger Patties:

In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Do not overmix to keep the burgers tender. Form into 4 equal patties, slightly pressing a small dent in the center of each. 🍔

Make the Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. 🥄

Cook the Patties:

Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side (or until desired doneness). In the last minute, add cheese on top and let it melt. 🧀🔥

Toast the Buns:

Lightly butter the brioche buns and toast them on a pan or grill until golden and crisp. 🍞✨

Assemble the Burger:

Spread steakhouse sauce on both bun halves. Add lettuce, tomato, beef patty with melted cheese, red onion, and pickles. Top with the bun and gently press. 🍔

Serve:

Serve immediately with fries, coleslaw, or potato wedges. 🍟

💡 Tips:

Don’t press the patties while cooking—it releases juices and dries them out.

For extra flavor, use a cast-iron pan for a steakhouse-style crust. 🔥

Let the patties rest 2 minutes before assembling for better juiciness.

Strawberries and white chocolate is a combination that never misses, and these muffins are the proof.
White Chocolate Strawberry Muffins

Ingredients:

⇒ 2½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
⇒ 2 tsp baking powder
⇒ ½ tsp baking soda
⇒ Pinch of salt
⇒ 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
⇒ 2 large eggs, room temperature
⇒ ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
⇒ 2 tbsp neutral oil
⇒ 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
⇒ 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
⇒ ¼ cup (60g) sour cream
⇒ 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, diced
⇒ 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips

Directions:

Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment tulip liners.

Wet Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and whisk for 2–3 minutes until the mixture turns pale. Add the buttermilk, vanilla bean paste, and sour cream and mix until smooth.

Dry Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this dry mixture and set aside.

Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold until just combined — a few streaks of flour are perfectly fine at this stage.

Strawberries: Toss the diced strawberries in the reserved 2 tablespoons of dry mixture — this stops them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Fold the coated strawberries and white chocolate chips gently into the batter. Do not overmix.

Rest: Let the batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes without stirring again. This rest activates the leavening and is the secret to that gorgeous domed muffin top.

Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups — fill them all the way to the top. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then without opening the oven door reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 15 more minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Pro Tip: The two-temperature baking method is everything here. Starting at 425°F creates an immediate burst of heat that shoots the muffin tops up fast and tall before the structure sets. Never open the oven door between the temperature change — that rush of cold air will deflate everything you just worked for. 🍓
