Black Truffle Beef Patty Recipe

Black Truffle Beef Patty Recipe

• 5g green tea rubs (a mixture of green tea leaves, sugar, and spices)
• 500g ground beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• 1/4 cup black truffle sauce
• 4 burger buns, toasted
• Optional: Lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles for garnish

1. Prepare the Green Tea Rubs:
   • Combine the green tea leaves, sugar, and spices in a small bowl to create the green tea rubs. This mixture will be used to season the beef.
2. Season the Beef:
   • Pat the ground beef dry with paper towels. Rub the green tea rubs all over the beef, pressing the rubs into the meat to ensure they adhere well.
3. Form the Beef Patties:
   • Shape the seasoned ground beef into 4 evenly sized patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
4. Preheat the Grill or Pan:
   • Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the Beef Patties:
   • Grill or cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
6. Prepare the Toppings:
   • In a small skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.
7. Simmer the Sauce:
   • Stir in the white wine (if using), beef broth, tomato paste, and dried or fresh thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Assemble the Burgers:
   • Place the cooked beef patties on the toasted burger buns. Spoon the sauce over the patties. Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of black truffle sauce.
9. Finish and Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and any additional toppings like lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Serve the Black Truffle Beef Patties immediately, enjoying the tender, flavorful beef with the rich, savory sauce and the luxurious aroma of black truffle.
