Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
• 4 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Yellow mustard
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and 1 minced clove of garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Set the mustard barbecue sauce aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, the cooled shallot and garlic mixture, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix with your hands until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Step 4

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking if desired.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the same skillet, grill pan, or in a toaster oven.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of the mustard barbecue sauce on both the top and bottom buns. Place a lettuce leaf on each bottom bun, followed by a cooked burger patty, a tomato slice, and the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with extra mustard barbecue sauce on the side for dipping or spreading.
