BONE MARROW AND BRISKET BURGER Chef Cliff Crooks Yields 4 burgers INGREDIENTS DIRECTIONS 24oz. ground beef (per burger) 2 pieces Bone marrow split 8oz. Beef brisket Salt and pepper to taste Preheat the oven to 375°. 8 pieces Sliced white cheddar 4 pieces Brioche burger bun 1-2 White onions depending on the size 1 Tbsp Olive oil 1 pint Beef broth 1 Tbsp Sherry vinegar 1 ½ Tbsp Canola oil Take one piece of bone marrow split at your local butcher’s. Place the bone marrow in the oven fat side up and cook for 10-12 minutes. Let the bone marrow come to room temperature, then scoop the fat out of the bone using a butter knife and chop it up. Season the beef brisket with salt and pepper, then wrap in aluminum foil. Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it come to room temperature. Chop it up and place in the refrigerator to cool. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat with the olive oil. Add onions and cook until caramelized. Deglaze with beef broth and cook until there is no more liquid. Finish onions with sherry vinegar. Set aside for later use. Mix the bone marrow, ground beef, and chopped brisket in a mixer or by hand. Divide into four equal parts and form into round patties. Heat the canola oil in a skillet on high heat. Add patties to the pan and flip after 3 minutes. Cook for about 4 minutes on the second side for medium rare (or longer for desired degree of doneness). They should form a hard crust on the outside to seal in flavor. Melt the cheese on top of the burger, place patties on the brioche buns and top with caramelized onions. 33
