   Step 1Caramelize the onions

   Step 2Smash the beef patties

   In the same pan, add the minced beef in portions. Smash the beef into thin patties using a spatula. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until a crust forms and the patties are cooked through, then flip.

   Note

   Use 80/20 beef for juicy patties. The same pan gives the sauce more flavour.

   Step 6Dip and serve

   Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce into a shallow bowl or plate. Dip the assembled burgers straight into the sauce and serve with french fries on the side, if desired. Sprinkle extra Parmesan over the top.

   Note

   Completely unnecessary, but absolutely worth it.
