I'm home sick today so I thought I'd dick off and try some shit that probably wont work.
Wife had some ground beef so burger it is. I put some soy sauce, some of the bovine Bold Seasoning KCU recommended recently and a little bit of adobo sauce out of some Chipotles I have.
I sliced some onions and peppers and sauteed them. When I put the oil in the pan, I thought WTF and put a dab of that adobo sauce from above. Cracked pepper on the top.
I didn't have buns, so I threw some bread and olive oil back in the pan while the burger rested. It looks like shit, but it was good.
I thought I got a picture of the burger finished but I guess I didn't. Apologies. Sorry for the Shite pictures. Conclusions below.
I know, should have used cast iron, but I'm sick and lazy, so **** off. I got a good sear anyway.
So I got the burger right, miraculously. I always seem to **** up making a patty, but this one turned out good. better than an inch thick medium well, melted cheese and rested. Got it right. However, noting jumped off the plate flavorwise. I probably should have got more salt and pepper on the outside in the sear, but overall, good burger. The bread, although poverty bread that looks like shit, was really nice. I need to start doing that on the reg.
The star though was the onions and peppers. That shit was excellent. The adobo sauce from the Chipotles had this really nice sneaky heat that I'm honestly surprised it got there. But not overwhelming like that kind of heat can do. Really added a lot to the burger. They were so good that I made a little rice and soy sauce to eat up the extra that didn't go on the burger. Holy shit they were good. And freaking easy.
