    Thyme
    Bay Leaves

  • step 2
    ingredients 2 lbs Flat iron
    Salt
    Pepper
    instructions Trim the braised flat iron and season with salt and pepper. 
  • step 3
    ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil
    instructions In a heavy duty casserole pan add olive oil. Sear the meat, and give a nice brown color on both sides. Take the meat out, and degrease. 
  • step 4
    ingredients 1 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 small carrot
    1 small yellow onion
    1 celery stalks
    2 garlic whole cloves
    ½ cup red wine vinegar 
    instructions Slice carrot, onion and celery stock.  Peel garlic.  Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter to pan. Add the carrot, onion, celery and garlic. Sauté the vegetables until lightly caramelized. Add the seared meat back in the sauté pan and deglaze with the red wine vinegar. 
  • step 5
    ingredients 3 tablespoons brown sugar
    ½ cup Pale malt
    3 cups Budweiser
    3 cups Chicken broth
    3 cups Beef broth
    water (if necessary)
    instructions Once reduced by half add brown sugar, pale malt and beer. Add the chicken, beef broth and bouquet garni. If necessary add water to barely cover the Flat Iron. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer slowly for about 3 ½ to 4 hours. Once tender, remove the meat carefully and display it on a sheet pan. Cover with plastic film and let cool down. 
  • step 6
    ingredients Salt
    freshly ground black pepper 
    instructions Strain the braising liquid through a fine sieve into a clean sauce pan. Reduce until the liquid become syrupy. Check the seasoning and reserve. 
  • step 7
    instructions When the meat is cold, cut 4 squares (about 3 ozs each) and transfer them into the reduced beer sauce. 
  • step 8
    ingredients 2 cups Shallots
    1 ½ teaspoon Fresh thyme 
    instructions For the caramelized shallot jam: Finely chop shallots and fresh thyme.
  • step 9
    ingredients 2 tablespoons Olive oil 
    Salt and pepper 
    ½ cup Budweiser 
    instructions In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and heat until hot. Add the shallots, stir, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are light gold and have thoroughly melted. Deglaze with the beer and add the thyme. Stir often towards the end of cooking to make sure the shallots do not stick and all the beer is reduced to almost dry. Set aside. 
  • step 10
    ingredients ¼ cup sugar 2 tablespoons
    1 tablespoon water 
    instructions While the shallots are cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the sugar with about 1 tablespoon water over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Cook at a boil, uncovered and without stirring, until the sugar caramelizes to a medium amber color, about 5 minutes. 
  • step 11
    ingredients Aged balsamic vinegar 
    instructions Remove the pan from the heat and add the vinegar. The mixture will foam and spit, so stand back to avoid being spattered. Return the pan to low heat, and stir until the caramel has melted. Scrape the shallots into the caramel and stir well. Remove to a bowl, cover, and set aside to cool.
  • step 12
    ingredients Salt
    Freshly ground pepper 
    instructions Taste for seasoning, and adjust with salt and pepper. Refrigerate the jam in a covered container for several days or longer. It may also be frozen. Bring to room temperature before using. 
  • step 13
    ingredients ¼ cup Yellow mustard seeds 
    2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
    ¾ cup Dry white wine
    2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
    Pinch of salt
    instructions For the old fashioned mustard: Combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds in a medium saucepan with the white wine, vinegar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and immediately pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Cover and set aside overnight. 
  • step 14
    ingredients  
    instructions Drain the seeds through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the liquid. In a medium bowl, fold the seeds into the prepared mustard until evenly mixed throughout. Pack the mustard into clean jars, close, and refrigerate for several days to let the flavors develop. Keeps, refrigerated for up to a month. 
  • step 15
    ingredients 1 ½ lb Coarsely ground Black Angus chuck, chilled 
    instructions Grilling and assembling the burgers: For the burgers, shape the meat into 4 evenly-sized patties about ¾ inch thick. Handle lightly to keep the texture light and juicy. The burgers can be shaped and refrigerated, covered, for several hours. 
  • step 16
    ingredients 1 tablespoon Olive oil
    Salt
    Pepper
    instructions When ready to cook, heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot or build a medium-hot fire in a barbecue. Generously season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers in the skillet, turning once or twice, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Do not press down on the patties. With a large spoon, baste the burgers several times with the fat in the pan. (You can also preheat the oven to 450° F and cook the burgers on top of the stove until they are brown on both sides, and then finish them in the oven.) To grill the burgers, oil the grate, arrange the patties on it, and cover. Cook as above.

On top display the burger. Cover the burger with a slice of tomato. Top the tomato with the flat iron and spoon some beer sauce over it. Cover with the bun tops.
