Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.25 cups Cabernet Sauvignon
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 4 Brioche burger buns
• 4 slices Cheese (such as Havarti or Brie)
• 1 cup Arugula
• 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Prepared horseradish

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Cabernet Sauvignon, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties approximately 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty (this helps them cook evenly).

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar to the onions and stir well. Continue cooking until the onions are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Grill the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F internal temperature is recommended for medium). Add a slice of cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the grill to melt the cheese.

Step 7

Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill until golden brown, about 1 minute.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and prepared horseradish to create a zesty spread.

Step 9

To assemble, spread the horseradish mayo on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Top with a handful of arugula, a burger patty, caramelized onions, and the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve your Cabernet Burgers immediately, paired with your favorite side dishes or a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon!
