Grilled Dijon Burgers with Onions and Peppers Time: 30 minutes
Made with hot, spicy Dijon-style mustard and served with crisp-tender peppers and onions, these are not your normal burger! Use more or less mustard if you like... you could even add a drop or 2 of Tabasco...
12 oz ground beef (350 gr mince)
2 tbs breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tbs Dijon-style Mustard
1 tbs red wine
1 tsp garlic powder
1 large red or sweet onion
1 pepper - any color
Vegetable/Basting Sauce
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs Dijon mustard
2 tbs red wine
1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
For burgers: Mix breadcrumbs, mustard, red wine and garlic powder. Add beef and mix thoroughly - hands are best. Shape into 3 or 4 patties. Oil hinged basket. Place patties in basket and cook on barbecue grill over direct heat for 4 - 5 minutes per side, basting each side with sauce. Or sauté in nonstick skillet for same amount of time, basting after turning and after done cooking .
For vegetables: Slice pepper (cut in half from bottom toward stem, discard seed and core) into large slices - 1/2 inch wide (1.25cm). Slice onion into 1/2" (1.25 cm) thick slices. Put olive oil, mustard, red wine and Worcestershire in large bowl, add vegetables and toss well to coat. Remove from sauce, saving remaining sauce to baste burgers, and put on a mesh grill pan (the idea is not to have the stuff fall through the grate into the fire....) Cook over direct heat 10 minutes per side, turning once or until they have a nice color and are crisp-tender.
