Ingredients for 4 people
600 g Black Angus beef burgers (4 burger patties)
4 burger buns (e.g. brioche or sesame buns)
2 apples (slightly tart variety, e.g. Boskoop)
200 g sauerkraut
200 g fresh spinach
150 g feta cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion
Salt and pepper
1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
1 tbsp butter
4 HOT MEAT Sauce from meat4you
Preparation:
Fried apples: Remove the cores and slice the apples into thin pieces. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a pan and fry the apple slices on both sides until golden brown. Set aside.
Prepare the sauerkraut: Finely chop the onion and sauté in 1 tbsp olive oil until translucent. Add the sauerkraut and caraway seeds, cook briefly and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Wash and gently dry the spinach leaves.
Crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the spinach leaves.
Cook the burgers: Grill or pan-fry the Black Angus patties over high heat for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until nicely browned on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Assemble the burgers: Cut the burger buns in half and lightly toast them. Spread some HOT Sauce on the bottom half, place the burger patty on top, then add the fried apple slices, sauerkraut, spinach and crumbled feta cheese.
Serving suggestion: Serve with extra 4 HOT MEAT Sauce and enjoy with fries or a fresh salad.
Nice to know: The burger as we know it today has a fascinating history. Its roots go back to the German city of Hamburg. During the 19th century, German immigrants brought the so-called Hamburg Steak to the United States. It consisted of seasoned minced beef that was often served as a flat meat patty.
In the United States, this evolved step by step into the modern hamburger. To make it easier and more practical to eat, especially for workers, travelers and the growing street food culture, the meat was eventually placed between two pieces of bread.
By the early 20th century, burgers had become increasingly popular and turned into a key part of American food culture.
Today, burgers are far more than just fast food. From classic beef burgers to premium Black Angus creations with unique ingredients such as fried apples, regional cheeses and special sauces, burgers have become a true gourmet experience enjoyed around the world.
