Directions:

【Burger Brioche】Whisk together milk, water, and yeast to activate the yeast. Make sure there are no clumps.

Step 1

Mix with eggs.

Step 2

In the mixer, add flour, salt, sugar, and mixed liquid.

Step 3

Mix to form a dough, then knead until elastic.

Step 4

Add in butter, then continue to knead until smooth, shiny, and no pieces of butter remain.

Step 5

In a lightly oiled bowl, rise to double. Depending on how warm your kitchen is, this will take about 1-3 hours.

Step 6

Cut into seven evenly sized pieces (3.75-4 oz. per piece).

Step 7

Shape into a ball.

Step 8

Sprinkle a baking sheet lightly with cornmeal or breadcrumbs, then put buns on cornmeal, leaving 2-3 inches in between.

Step 9

Cover lightly with plastic wrap, then press the buns down. Proof: let it rise (for 1-2 hours) to doubled in size.

Step 10

Whisk egg until it starts to foam, then brush it on the buns.

Step 11

Sprinkle white sesame seeds.

Step 12

Bake in 350°F / 180°C oven until golden brown for about 15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through baking.

【Pickled Red Onions】In a saucepan, heat to a boil: red wine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.

Step 1

Put onions in a heat-proof container. Strain liquid over onions.

Step 2

Press parchment to the surface to submerge onions, and cool to room temperature. (Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.)

【Burger】Mix ground beef, salt, and pepper together.

Step 1

Shape burgers into six patties. (If you have a ring mold to shape, that’s even better.) Make a small divot in the center of each patty.

Step 2

To cook, heat a cast-iron skillet (or grill) until hot. Put burgers in the pan leaving room in between them to allow steam to escape, and lower heat to medium-high.

Step 3

Once you flip the burger, add the butter and herbs (be careful, the herbs may splatter) and baste the burger until it reaches your desired temperature. (The health department recommends 70°C / 158°F. Rest 5 minutes, then serve.)

Step 4

Cut the baked buns and spread mayonnaise and dijon mustard on the bun.

Step 5

Enjoy!
