  • 3-4 Burger Patties
  • 1.5 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1.5 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • Canola Oil as needed

Cowboy Butter:

  • 2 sticks Unsalted Butter melted
  • 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1.5 tbsp Chopped Parsley
  • 2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
  • 1 tsp Cayenne Powder
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice

Caramelized Onions:

  • 2 cups Sliced White Onions
  • 2 tbsp Beef Tallow
  • Kosher Salt to taste

Burgers:

  • Burger Buns toasted
  • 8-10 White Cheddar Cheese Slices
  • Mayonnaise as needed

Pendleton Military Julep

  • 2 oz Pendleton® Whisky Military Edition 
  • 1 oz Pomegranate Juice
  • 0.5 oz Simple Syrup
  • Fresh Mint

Instructions

Caramelized Onions:

  • Preheat your grill to medium high heat (about 350F) for direct cooking. Add a cast iron skillet to the grill 2 minutes before cooking.
  • Melt beef tallow in the skillet and add your thinly sliced white onions. Season the onions with salt and pepper and begin cooking on a medium heat until they are caramelized (dark brown). This should take about 45-60 minutes to achieve. When the onions are done, pull off and keep warm.

Steak & Burgers:

  • Next, add all the ingredients for your cowboy butter to a bowl and mix. Set to the side until ready to use.
  • Finally, slather your steaks and burgers with oil and generously season with salt, pepper and garlic powder or your favorite steak rub. Set in the fridge until ready to cook.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 375F) for two zone indirect cooking.
  • Next, add your steaks and burgers to the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the steaks are 120F and the burgers are 165F. Before the burgers are done, top each with a slice of cheese to melt. Once everything is done, top with a little of the cowboy butter and pull off to let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the steaks up and begin building the burgers. Start with your buns, mayonnaise, burger patty, sliced steak, caramelized onions and cowboy butter. Serve and enjoy!

Military Julep

  • Combine ingredients and ice into a cocktail mixing tin. Shake well and pour into an ice-filled rocks glass or julep mug. Garnish with fresh mint.
