FRENCH ONION BURGERS WITH OVEN FRIES AND DIJON GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°.
• Halve the potatoes lengthwise, then cut each half into 5 thin wedges.
• Place the potatoes and 4 crushed garlic cloves on a rimmed baking sheet and coat with about 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
• Season liberally with salt and pepper and roast for 45 minutes, turning once, until deeply golden in color and crispy.
• Once the fries have had a 15-minute head start, heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• Add the onions, chopped garlic, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Cook until the onions caramelize, 20 minutes or so.
• Add the sherry and deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits from the bottom, and cook for a couple of minutes longer.
• While the onions are cooking, preheat a grill pan or large skillet over med-high heat.
• In a bowl, combine the sirloin with the Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Divide the mixture into 4 portions, then form each portion into a large patty.
• Coat the patties in a little oil and cook for 5 minutes on each side for pink centers, a minute or so less for rare and 2 minutes longer for well done.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, then whisk in the flour and cook for another minute.
• Whisk in the stock and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes to thicken.
• Season the gravy with pepper and stir in the Dijon mustard; set aside.
• When the fries have cooked about 40 minutes, turn the oven to broil.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast on both sides 6 inches from broiler until lightly golden.
• Set 4 pieces of bread aside, then mound the gruyere onto the remaining bread rounds, just like the large croutons that top French onion soup; return to the oven to melt the cheese, 1-2 minutes.
• Dress the greens with the lemon juice, the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, and salt and pepper.
• Place the burgers on the plain toasts and top with mounds of the French onions.
• Take the cheesy bread and set in place on top of the onions, cheesy side down.
• Serve greens on the side; serve the fries piled high on a platter and pour the gravy over them, or pour the gravy in a bowl and dip as you go.
