Instructions

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.

Pro tip: Clean the grill grates for a smooth cooking surface and to prevent sticking.

Make the Burger Patties

In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into four equally sized patties.

Pro tip: Create a small dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.

Grill the Patties

Place patties on the grill, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Pro tip: Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain the juices.

Prepare the Gravy

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, stirring to form a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened.

Pro tip: Stir continuously to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth gravy.

Assemble the Burgers

Place a grilled patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a handful of cheese curds and a portion of crispy fries. Drizzle generous amounts of gravy over the toppings. Finish with the top bun.

Pro tip: Serve immediately while the gravy is hot and the cheese curds are melty.

Tips & Tricks

Ensure your grill is preheated to the right temperature, around 400°F, to achieve a perfect sear on the burgers. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 160°F for ideal doneness. Allow the gravy to simmer until thick, enhancing the flavor profile.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these Poutine Burgers with a side of extra crispy fries and a fresh salad to balance the rich flavors. A cold beer or a refreshing iced tea complements the savory elements perfectly. For a special touch, consider offering a selection of mustards and hot sauces, allowing guests to customize their burgers to their taste. Enjoy the fusion of flavors as you gather around with friends and family for a memorable meal.
