The Bleedin’ Delish Paddy Burger – Fillet Beef, White Pudding And Caramelized Red Onions

Today is a day for going all out on the burgers, I decided. None of that cheap shitty minced meat but instead straight in at the top end with fillet steak and a pimped out burger that you can nearly taste by looking at the screen.

You have no idea how good this tastes – and better again, the steps are all super easy and none of the ingredients are even that hard to find. Grab a pan and make what is probably the best steak burger you’ll ever taste in your life!

Instructions

Step 1

The ingredients are all pretty straightforward. Make sure to splash out on fillet steak, though, as that makes all the difference. If you live outside of Ireland and can’t get white pudding, find a ‘boudin blanc’… or better still move to Ireland.

Step 2

Peel the red onions. Not rocket science.

Step 3

Slice the bastards up as thin as you can.

Step 4

Throw them into a pot with some olive oil. You want to cook them nice and slow so as they start to sweeten up. I personally hate that sharp taste of an onion in a burger and this process makes all the difference. Keep them stirred.

Step 5

Pick the leaves away from the stalks on the kale. The kale is only really in here to add a splash or green and something good for you among all the red meat!

Step 6

You’ll see the onions starting to soften up after about 10 minutes. Make sure to use a spatula or spoon to keep them moving as they can start to stick as they dry out.

Step 7

Lash in a good big glug of balsamic vinegar. Don’t be shy with it as this is where you will get the lovely sweet and sour flavour.

Step 8

Good big handful of sugar into the mix as well. Turn the heat down a little more and, once again, make sure to keep them stirred.

Step 9

Lash on a large pot with a little olive oil on a low to medium heat. Throw in the kale. It will take about six to seven minutes to cook. Stir it the odd time as well.

Step 10

I was lucky enough to find nice big white puddings. You want them to fit into the burger so flatten them out using the base of the palm. We want to get them crispy and thin.

Step 11

Season up the steak. Salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil – don’t be shy with any of them.

Step 12

Throw on a large frying pan and crank up the heat as much as you can. The kale and onions will just be ticking over and nearly ready to go.
