Ingredients

  • 2 russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup grapeseed or sunflower oil
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 Butcherbox burger patties or form your own!
  • 1 onion
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 hamburger buns
  • 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • Butcher’s Sweet & Smoky BBQ Rub To taste
  • kosher salt To taste

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375F.
  • Wash the potatoes and slice into steak fries. Toss with half of the oil and a sprinkle of Sweet & Smoky BBQ Rub.
  • Spray the foil-lined sheet trays with pan spray and spread the potato slices evenly onto the trays. Place in the oven and rotate every 15 minutes until GBD (Golden Brown & Delicious), about 30-40 minutes in total.
  • Make sure your burgers are thawed and ready to cook!
  • Peel and slice the onion.

How to Cook

  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil.
  • Add the onions and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until caramelized.
  • Add the vinegar and honey, season with salt and turn the heat to medium. Allow to cook over medium heat until jammy.
  • In another large saute pan, the butter over medium heat.  Add buns and toast until GBD.  Remove the buns from the pan and set onto a plate.
  • Wipe the pan clean, place on the stove over medium high heat, and add the remaining oil to the pan.
  • When the oil begins to smoke, season the burger patties with Sweet & Smoky BBQ Rub and add them to the pan. Continue to cook over medium-high heat, flipping every minute, until medium rare, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Top the patties with the cheese, turn the heat to medium, and cover.
  • Allow the burgers to cook, covered, until the cheese has melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Remove the lid and transfer the patties to the toasted buns.
  • Remove the steak fries from the oven, ensuring that they are crispy and delicious.
  • Build the burger, add the caramelized onions over the top, cover with your favorite BBQ sauce and devour, alongside your crispy BBQ fries!
