Burger n’ Fries

Sometimes it’s just nice to sit down to a big fat juicy burger and fries… So that’s exactly what I did tonight. Here is what I made…

Gordon Ramsey inspired Burger and Baked Garlic Fries topped with Parsley

Gordon Ramsey inspired burger:

  • 1 lb ground sirloin
  • 1/2 Red onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato, cut thinly
  • 1/4 cup garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Stout mustard
  • 2 eggs (Probably will only do 1 next time)

Mix all the ingredients above in a bowl and form into patties. Cook over grill for 5 mins each side for a medium well burger.

Baked Garlic Fries:

  • 1 potato
  • 1/2 tsp garlic (or regular) salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Toss the cut potato wedges into a bowl with vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 40 minutes. 

In a pan, heat up olive oil and add freshly minced garlic. Cook on medium for about 5 until garlic bits start turning golden brown. Don’t let it sit too long, your garlic will burn and taste nasssty. 

Once the garlic and potatoes are done, toss the garlic-infused olive oil in with the potatoes. Served topped with some parsley. 

Yummmm…. everything turned out pretty good. Although, I’m not sure how the burger tasted since I devoured that thing like a beast. :P
