Black Pepper Crusted Burgers With Mustard Sauce Recipes

SMOKY BEER BURGERS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Place the meat in a bowl and add the cheese. Peel the onion and halve it, if using the medium onion. Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping. Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer then form 4 large patties making them a little thinner at the center than at edges. Burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
• Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
• Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.

BLACK PEPPER-CRUSTED ROAST BEEF WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• For the meat: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the roast beef generously on all sides with salt and coat with the pepper. Put the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Arrange the garlic halves in a single layer of foil with some foil to spare. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap the foil over the garlic into a little package and place in the oven. Roast 45 minutes, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the roasting pan in the center of the oven and cook, undisturbed, for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue to cook until a thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers between 135 and 140 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 hours Remove the roast beef and place it on a cutting board to rest for 20 minutes. (The roast temperature will continue to increase as it rests; the end slices will be more well done.)
• For the gravy: Pour off excess grease from the roasting pan, then add the wine and bring to a boil over a burner. Reduce the liquid by half and whisk in the mustard. Add the stock and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the lemon juice. Season to taste.
• Squeeze 4 of the garlic halves like lemons over the blender to release the flesh from the skins, allowing the flesh to fall into the blender. Ladle some of the gravy into the blender and blend until smooth. Whisk the garlic back into the gravy. Squeeze the remaining garlic halves directly into the gravy and use the back of a spoon to smash them into the gravy. Taste for seasoning.
• Serve the roast whole on the platter to carve at the table with the gravy on the side, or arrange slices of beef on a platter and coat with a layer of the gravy.

STEAK BURGERS & PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the burgers, sweat the chopped onion with the garlic in some olive oil over a low heat, cook until transparent but don't allow it to colour. You need to be careful here because burnt garlic tastes really horrible.
• Set aside to cool down.
• Add the tomato sauce, English mustard, cooled cooked onion and garlic mixture to the mince and mix together. You must make sure that the onion mixture is cold before you add it to the raw meat.
• Then add the eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and mix together.
• Mould the burgers into six evensized patties and chill in the fridge until ready to cook. They should be cooked for 15 minutes turning half way through and can be grilled or fried.
• To make the pepper sauce*, cook the onions with the cracked black pepper in a little olive oil until they are slightly brown. Pour in the brandy and set it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Add the beef stock and cook down until it is reduced by half, add the cream and simmer for 5-10 minutes until it is thickened. Add the peppercorns and serve with the burgers.
• This is lovely served with fat chips.
• *If time is a constraint packet pepper sauce works fine.
