Worcestershire Burgers With Garlic Spread

In a few weeks, David and I will be going to visit my parents in Dayton, Ohio. One of the things that I always look forward to when I got home is going to the local butcher, and getting some of their incredible burgers. When we have a family gathering we usually order a bunch of burgers, in all different flavors. (They come in bacon cheddar, black and blue, philly cheesesteak, Worcestershire and plain). Today, I was talking to my mom, and she had mentioned how she was craving one of those burgers, which in turn gave me a craving. 

Since I am over 600 miles away, I decided to try to come up with my own recipe for Worcestershire burgers. I can't have the one from the butcher's anymore, (they do not use gluten-free sauce) so if I want them I have to make them for myself!

For burger:

1 pack ground sirloin

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (always check and make sure it's gluten-free)

1 tbsp coarse black pepper

1/4 cup diced onions

1 tsp garlic powder

salt to taste

For garlic spread:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or mayo if you prefer)

1 lemon wedge, squeezed

1 tsp diced garlic

1 tsp parsley

 in a large bowl, combine all the burger ingredients. Use your hands to mix, until all ingredients are evenly distributed. For meat into patties, (I did a full sized burger for my husband, and sliders for me). Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add burgers, flipping occasionally, until meat is at desired temperature. (rare 120-130F, med rare 130-135F, med 135-150F, med well 150-165F, well 165F+)

Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for spread in a small bowl, stirring until blended. 

I served my sliders on gluten-free ciabatta rolls, topped with the garlic spread, whole grain mustard, and smoked gouda. 

They wound up being pretty close to the original!
