Beef Burger with Roasted Tomato Ketchup Recipe
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds freshly ground beef, top sirloin or top round
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Four rolls
To prepare the ketchup: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the tomatoes
in 1
tablespoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for
10 to 15
minutes or until soft.
Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor and process until smooth.
Strain the
tomatoes, pressing against the solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much
pulp and
juice as possible.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and
saute the
onions and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato puree and remaining
ingredients and
continue cooking, uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until
thick.
To prepare the burgers: Shape the meat firmly into 4 round uniform
patties about 1
1/2-inches thick. Brush both sides of the burgers lightly with the remaining
olive oil and
season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large cast iron skillet over
medium high heat
until just smoking. Cook the burgers until done to your preference, 5 to 6
minutes on each
side for medium rare etc.
