From the top, you'll see a golden brioche bun, slightly charred at the edges, lifted to reveal an array of colorful toppings - bright red roasted tomatoes, crispy green arugula, deep purple caramelized onions, and a melting slice of cheddar cheese over a juicy sirloin patty sitting on a bed of crisp lettuce.

This Father's Day, we're going all out with a classic grilling staple that's been given a gourmet upgrade - the humble hamburger! Our key ingredients are premium ground sirloin beef for juiciness, and a rainbow of colorful toppings for a visual feast.

Ingredients (for 4)

Ground sirloin beef - 1.5 lb
Brioche buns - 4
Slices of cheddar cheese - 4
Arugula - 1 cup
Large red tomatoes - 2 - sliced thick for grilling
Large red onion - 1 - thinly sliced
Head of iceberg lettuce - 1 - washed and divided into large leaves
Balsamic vinegar - 2 tablespoons
Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons
Olive oil, salt, and pepper - to taste

Preparation

Step 1 - 🔪🧅🍳

Start by caramelizing your onions. Add thinly sliced onions with a drizzle of olive oil into a pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally.
Step 2 - 🔥🍯🍷

After 10 minutes, add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to the onions. Lower the heat and let it continue to caramelize for another 15 minutes.
Step 3 - 🥩🍔🧂

While onions are caramelizing, form the ground sirloin into 4, evenly-sized burger patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4 - 🍔🧀🔥

Grill the patties on a preheated BBQ for about 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Add a slice of cheddar on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking so it starts to melt.
Step 5 - 🍅🔥🧂

Grill the tomato slices for a couple of minutes on each side. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
Step 6 - 🍔🥬🍅

Assemble your burgers: Start with a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, follow with the cheese-topped patty, a spoonful of caramelized onions, some grilled tomatoes, a handful of arugula, and finally the top bun. Enjoy your decadent Father's Day feast!

Additional

Did you know the hamburger, despite its name, originated in Hamburg, Germany? The 'Hamburg steak' was brought to America by German immigrants. Also, for a fun family activity, you can have the kids create their own custom toppings bar to add extra colors to your Father's Day Rainbow Burgers.
