Short Rib Bacon And Egg Burgers Food

SHORT RIB BURGER

Steps:

• Place the short ribs, plate ribs and osso buco in a large ovenproof dish. Pour the Red Wine Marinade over the meats. Turn the meats to coat with marinade. Cover the dish and put in the fridge for 12 to 36 hours.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Turn the meats again to coat with the marinade, then wrap the dish in foil or cover with a lid. Braise the meats for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. The meats should be very tender. Remove the foil or lid and allow the meats to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using your hands, remove the bones and any large pieces of fat from the meats. Using your hands and a knife, shred and chop the meats into bite-sized pieces. Put the meats into a mixing bowl. Add the ground beef to the bowl with the braised meats.
• Toast the peppercorns on the stovetop in a dry saute pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Let the peppercorns cool. Put the peppercorns and rosemary in a spice grinder and grind. Add the pepper and rosemary to the mixing bowl with the meats.
• Using your hands, gently mix the beef and spices together to form a uniform blend. Form the meat into about 12 burger patties. Cook the patties on a grill or saute in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the core from the lettuce and cut as thinly as you can. Remove cores from the tomatoes and cut crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
• Put burger buns cut-side down on a sheet tray and bake for about 4 minutes. Remove the buns from the tray and open them to assemble the burgers.
• On bottom buns, put a generous spread of mayonnaise and 2 slices of tomato. On top buns, spread about 1 teaspoon of brown mustard and about 1 tablespoon of Pigwich BBQ Sauce/Tomato Jam. Place the patties on bottom buns, top with shredded iceberg lettuce and top buns.
• Combine the wine, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, vegetable oil and stock in a large heavy pot. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cool to room temperature. Strain the marinade. Chill until ready to use.
• Core and chop the tomatoes. Slice the lemon into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Roughly chop the jalapeno (keep the seeds in). Tie the cinnamon sticks up with kitchen twine.
• Combine the tomatoes, lemon, jalapeno, cumin, coriander, black pepper, allspice, sugar, vinegar, lime juice, molasses and ginger in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Tie the end of the cinnamon stick string to the handle of the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and turn the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 40 minutes, until about a quarter of the liquid has evaporated.
• Remove from the heat. Remove the cinnamon sticks. Allow the jam to cool to room temp. Use a stick blender or stand blender to puree the jam to the desired consistency.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Shape the beef into 4 patties, each about 5-inches in diameter. Sprinkle the outside of the patties generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Lay the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, until brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off and reserve all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings and increase the heat to medium-high.
• Add the burgers to the skillet, and cook until well browned on the outside and medium-rare on the inside, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked burgers to a rimmed baking sheet and top each with a slice of cheese. Brush the insides of the buns with the melted butter and put on a second baking sheet buttered side-up. Bake until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes and the buns are lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Break the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put a burger patty on each of the bottom buns and top each with 2 slices of bacon and a fried egg. Spread the top bun with some of the spicy ketchup and put on top of the burger.

SHORT RIBS EGGS BENNY

Steps:

• Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, cook the short ribs until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Add the celery, carrots and onions to the pot and saute until beginning to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine, beef stock, sherry, garlic, bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Return the browned short ribs to the pot in a single layer, propping them up on their sides. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 1 hour.
• Turn the short ribs with tongs and continue simmering, covered, until the short ribs are tender and the sauce is very thick, up to 12 hours, turning occasionally and rearranging the ribs in the pot to prevent sticking. When the meat is beginning to fall off the bone, turn off the heat, uncover the pot and let cool for 30 minutes.
• Transfer the short ribs to a work surface and separate the meat from the bones; discard the bones. Cut the meat into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces, trimming any fat. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs from the pot and skim the fat from the sauce. Return the meat to the pot and keep warm.
• To assemble: Place the toasted English muffin halves on plates. Top each muffin half with 6 ounces of short ribs and a poached egg, then cover with hollandaise and garnish with sauteed arugula.

OVER-EASY EGG HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Form beef into 4 equal-sized patties and season with salt and pepper.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Cook patties on the preheated grill until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• At the same time, crack eggs into a skillet over medium heat. Cook until outer edges become opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Apply mayonnaise to bottom buns and layer cheese, lettuce, burgers, bacon, onion slices, eggs, hot sauce, and bun tops.
