How to Make 21 Club Burger

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large, ovenproof skillet, sauté 1 cup finely chopped celery in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat for 4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Remove celery from skillet and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground sirloin, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup au jus (store-bought or homemade), and the cooled celery.
  5. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently form into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  6. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
  7. Place patties in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  8. Flip patties, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  10. Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve on your favorite buns with your preferred toppings.
