Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 chicken hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until they become golden brown and caramelized, developing a sweet and rich flavor.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to release its aromatic flavor without burning.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink.
- Season and Simmer: Drain excess fat from the skillet, then stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Toast Buns: While the beef simmers, toast the chicken hamburger buns until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place a generous portion of the beef and onion mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with shredded Swiss cheese, then cover with the top bun. Serve warm and enjoy your French Onion Beef sandwich.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can deglaze the skillet with a splash of beef broth or red wine after caramelizing the onions.
- Use chicken hamburger buns for a lighter alternative to regular buns, or substitute with any preferred bun or bread.
- Swiss cheese is traditional, but feel free to substitute with Gruyère or mozzarella if desired.
- Leftover beef mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for quick sandwiches later in the week.
