Zesty Steak Burger

So here is something that gets away from my obsession with spice and peppers well sort of. I still add hot sauce to mine afterwards just because I am an addict. We went to the store and looked around and could not figure out what we wanted to cook. There was a guy at the meat counter who asked the butcher if he could get some of the fresh top sirloin tender steak ground for tartare. It got me thinking get some of that same meat for a burger and add my own twist. With the inspirations that Mandi is always great at providing I put together this very delicious steak burger.

Please note that the reason why I say do not overcook the sweet potato fries is apparent, I slightly burned a few, but miraculously they still tasted great! But look at that burger it looks mouth watering!

Ingredients:

1 lbs Ground top sirloin tender steak ( I prefer grassfed beef over grain fed)
1/2 sweet onion in strips
Colby Jack Cheese
Green leaf lettuce
French style hamburger buns ( do not use the cheap ones you get at the family cookout)
1 bag frozen sweet potato fries unless you are willing to make them fresh, in our case we did not feel like peeling and cutting sweet potato.
Powdered garlic to taste
Fresh white peppercorn to taste
1/2 tsp fresh ground cumin
Sea Salt to taste
Sriracha hot sauce for spice if you want it like me, because it is the best hot sauce to go with just about anything!

Step 1
Mix ground steak with spices and cheese. Make sure you get a marbled effect with the cheese. Prepare patties and make sure you put an indent on the top of the burger.

Step 2
Caramelize the sweet onion in butter until golden

Step 3
Get your lettuce ready, put the patties on the heat, and put fries in the oven

Step 4
Cook the patties where you like them, raw, pink, slightly pink, or all the way. be sure to cover the pan with a lid it helps to cook the meat faster and melts the cheese all the way inside the meat. Do not forget about the fries, since they are sweet potato they will burn faster as the sugar content is higher. Toast your bun or have it cold. Place the patties on the buns, add the onions, lettuce, fries to your favorite plate and eat up. It is simple, delicious and oh so good!
