Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cheese grater (if using block cheese)
  • 4 serving plates
  • 4 hamburger buns

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced About 1 cup.
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 pieces hamburger buns
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese Or Swiss cheese.
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped Optional.

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
  • Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • While the beef mixture is simmering, preheat your broiler to high.
  • Divide the beef mixture among the hamburger buns and place them on a baking sheet. Top each sandwich generously with shredded Gruyere cheese.
  • Broil the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a bit of extra flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the beef mixture while it simmers.
Feel free to use any cheese of your choice, but Gruyere adds a nice nutty flavor that complements the dish.
Serve with a side of chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
