Ingredients
- 500 g beef brisket
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp seasoning powder
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 100 ml signature sauce
- 4 burger buns
- 30 g butter
- 50 g cheese
- 50 ml heavy cream
- 30 ml milk
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 tomato
Instructions
- 1Prepare the Beef
Begin by applying a generous coating of yellow mustard to the surface of the raw beef brisket. This acts as a binder for the seasoning and helps tenderize the meat during the long cooking process.
Tip: Apply the mustard evenly to ensure every part of the brisket is well-coated for seasoning. - 2Season the Beef
Evenly sprinkle your signature dry seasoning powder over the mustard-coated beef brisket. Ensure the meat is thoroughly coated on all sides to lock in the flavor profile before refrigeration.
Tip: Press the seasoning into the mustard slightly to ensure it adheres properly. - 3Sear the Beef
Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Add the seasoned beef brisket pieces and sear them until they are well-browned on all sides. This step is crucial for developing deep, complex flavors in your burger.
Tip: Do not crowd the pan; sear in batches if necessary to get a good crust. - 4Pressure Cook the Beef
Transfer the seared, browned beef into a pressure cooker. Add the chopped garlic, sliced onions, and your signature sauce. Secure the lid and cook under pressure for 45 minutes to achieve perfectly tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef.
Tip: Deglaze your searing pan with a little water or broth to get all those flavorful browned bits into the pressure cooker. - 5Shred the Beef
Once the pressure cooking is complete, remove the beef and carefully shred it using your hands while wearing food-safe gloves. The beef should be tender enough to pull apart easily into succulent shreds.
Tip: Shred the beef while it is still warm for easier handling and better sauce absorption. - 6Toast the Buns
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and place the burger bun halves inside. Toast them until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy. This adds a delicious buttery crunch and protects the bun from getting soggy.
Tip: Keep a close eye on the buns as they can go from golden to burnt very quickly. - 7Prepare the cheese lava sauce
In a pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the cheese until the sauce is completely melted and reaches a smooth, velvety consistency.
Tip: Keep the heat low when adding the cheese to prevent it from separating or becoming grainy.
