Taverns Recipes

TAVERN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium heat until hot.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise equally on the split sides of the buns and griddle mayo-side down until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine the ketchup and mustard with the remaining 1 tablespoon mayonnaise in a small bowl and stir until just combined. Spoon the sauce onto the top buns.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal patties and transfer to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the butter, flip the patties, then remove from the heat (or bake in a 500 degree F oven until the patties are cooked to your desired temperature). Top each patty with a slice of cheese and let it melt.
• Transfer the patties to the bottom buns. Top with the pickles and chopped onion, as desired. Close the burgers and serve hot.

PORK RITES (TAVERNS)

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground pork in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Stir ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt into the ground beef; bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Serve on hamburger buns.

HAMBURGERS (TAVERN STYLE)

Steps:

• Add oil or butter to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet and place over medium heat. Gently divide ground beef into 4 small piles of around 8 ounces each, and then lightly form these into thick patties of around 3 1/2 inches in diameter, like flattened meatballs. Season aggressively with salt and pepper.
• Increase heat under skillet to high. Put hamburgers into the skillet with plenty of distance between them and allow them to cook, without moving, for approximately 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn hamburgers over. If using cheese, lay slices on meat.
• Continue to cook until meat is cooked through, approximately another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove hamburgers from skillet and allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes; meanwhile, toast the buns. Place hamburgers on buns and top as desired.
