Ground beef is seasoned with fresh rosemary and garlic, then grilled and topped with wine caramelized red onions. Some grainy Dijon and a slice of tomato and you’ve got a killer burger. Give these Rosemary Garlic Burgers with Smoked Gruyere a try.
This is a burger recipe that you want and need.
The red wine caramelized onions alone will have your guests swooning. I mean just LOOK at them!
Caramelized onions are definitely good enough to eat all by themselves, but really, it’s a little odd to serve them as a side dish. With a little patience these wine soaked rings of goodness will have your tastebuds thanking you later. Great on these rosemary burgers, we also had them piled high on a grilled T-bone a few days later. I have crostini plans for the next batch I make.
The onions are pure magic. So much so that I feel I’m ignoring that marvelous smoked gruyere. When Gruyere meets heat, it turns into a blanket of comfort, complimenting anything it touches. This hickory smoked gruyere was perfect on this savory burger. It’s Boar’s Head and was easy for me to find. Just have your deli counter slice some up for you.
