How to Make Au Jus Onion Burgers

1. Finely chop 2 large onions. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until deeply caramelized, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. While onions cook, prepare your burger patties (4-6, depending on desired serving size). Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup beef broth, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or to taste). Add 1-2 teaspoons of wasabi paste if you desire a spicy kick.
4. Cook the burger patties to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add the caramelized onions to the skillet with the patties to warm through.
5. Toast your chosen rolls or baguette slices. Place cooked burger patties on the rolls.
6. Top each burger with 1-1.5 slices of your favorite cheese (4-6 total slices).
7. Spoon the au jus sauce generously over the burgers.
8. Serve immediately with a side of your favorite green salad (mixed greens with cherry tomatoes and a simple vinaigrette are recommended).
