Users poked fun at the how big it was, with one joking that burgers are already messy enough without all those ingredients.  

To replicate the burger, which Gordon called a ‘bun to wow’, you’d need to add butter, sugar, molasses and apple cider into a pan.

In a clip showing how to make the burfer, Gordon let the ingredients simmer, and set about chopping his onion and a Pink Lady apple.

The Hell’s Kitchen host then poured apple cider caramel into a small skillet pan to begin preparing the unusual puff pastry buns.

Gordon put the ingredients in the oven to bake before moving on to the main ingredient – the patty. 

Mixing both short rib and sirloin steaks to create his signature ‘Burger Blend’, alongside ground chuck, he started mixing the three in a bowl.

He finished the dish by placing a round of Camembert cheese over the burger, and covering his pan with a lid to let it melt, before assembling his creation.

‘It’s too bloody big Gordon,’ wrote one, while another added: ‘That does not look good at all.’

Another criticised the chef for not following his own advice and making a huge burger, after scolding chefs on his TV show for doing the same.

The user wrote: ‘I’ve seen you laugh at restaurants because of extreme large burgers this is impossible to give a bite and now you make this monstrosity, pretty unfair.’ (sic)  

Ingredients and recipe 

 Onion Tatin Buns:

¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, cubed

¼ cup (60ml) hard apple cider 

2 tablespoons Molasses

1 medium red onion 

1 small Pink Lady apple

 1 – 14 ounce (396g) box of puff pastry, thawed

All-purpose flour, for dusting

Melted butter, for brushing

Black and white sesame seeds, for buns

 GR’s Burger Blend:

4 ounces (112g) ground short rib

8 ounces (225g) ground chuck

4 ounces (112g) ground sirloin

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup (57g) apple butter

¼ cup (57g) softened salted butter

Lettuce, tomato, mustard and ketchup, for Serving

8 ounce (226g) Camembert cheese wheel, chilled

METHOD 

1. Preheat oven to 425˚F (218˚C)

2. Prepare caramel for onion tatin – in a small saucepan melt sugar over medium heat, swirling occasionally until sugar is dissolved into a light amber color. Add butter pieces and swirl to melt and incorporate. Turn off heat and carefully stream in apple cider, go slow as it will sputter a bit. Return to heat, stirring in molasses and bring to a simmer to incorporate. Set aside.

3. Carefully slice onion into ¾ inch (19 mm) thick slices, making sure to keep rounds intact, remove skin. Slice apple into ¼ inch (6mm) thick slices.

4. Place one sheet of thawed pastry dough on a floured surface and depending on sheet fold into quarters or thirds*. Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out into a 12”x12” (30x30cm) rectangle. Cut out 4 – 5-inch (12cm) circles.

5. Preheat mini cast-iron skillets* over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with a touch of vegetable oil in the bottom of the pan, sear onion rounds until lightly charred. Season with salt, pepper, and drizzle with 3-4 tablespoons of cider caramel, enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Top each onion slice with 2 apple slices followed by 1 pastry round, pressing to adhere to onion/apple.

6. Brush pastry with melted butter and season with salt and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place remaining pastry rounds on a baking sheet, brush with butter and season with sesame seeds. Bake until pastry is golden brown and puffed, about 12-15 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Let cast-iron buns cool slightly before carefully releasing onto a plate. If caramel hardens, simply reheat over flame on stove and release with an offset spatula or spoon.

7. For the burger – mix together ground short rib, ground chuck, ground sirloin, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon apple butter. Form into 2 patties and set aside. In another bowl mix together remaining apple butter and softened butter until smooth. Slice cheese into ¼ inch (6 mm) wheels and prepare desired burger accoutrement.

8. Heat a heavy-duty skillet with vegetable oil and pan fry burgers in hot oil for 2-3 minutes for medium (5 minutes for well done). Flip burgers and spoon apple butter into pan, basting burgers with butter to coat, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Top with camembert cheese slices and broil (or cover with a lid) until melted.

9. Serve atop onion tatin buns garnishing with desired burger fixings and a dollop of apple butter, if desired.
