Description

Juicy, flavorful burgers topped with caramelized onions, Irish cheddar, and a tangy stout-mustard sauce—perfect for recreating pub-style comfort at home.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 500 g ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 slices Irish cheddar cheese (about 80 g)
  • 4 burger buns (brioche or potato rolls)
  • 2 Tbsp whole-grain mustard
  • 2 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp Irish stout (optional)
  • Lettuce leaves and tomato slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Form the ground beef into four even patties, gently, seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add sliced onions and brown sugar, cooking 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized. Remove and keep warm.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side (or to desired doneness).
  4. Meanwhile, mix mustard, ketchup, and stout (if using) in a small bowl to make the pub sauce.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of Irish cheddar; cover pan or close grill to melt cheese.
  6. Toast buns lightly on the grill or in the pan.
  7. Assemble burgers: spread sauce on bottom buns, add lettuce/tomato if desired, place cheesy patty, top with caramelized onions, then bun tops.
  8. Serve warm with fries or chips and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute Irish cheddar with sharp cheddar or Dubliner.
  • Double the caramelized onions to prepare ahead and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Add crispy bacon for extra richness.
  • Use brioche or potato buns for a soft, absorbent base.
  • Adjust pub sauce by swapping stout for beer or skipping entirely for a vinegar-mustard version.
