Ingredients

Instructions

1. Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill.
2. Put the ground beef in a large bowl, add the mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper, and mix gently with a fork without compacting the meat. Shape into 6 patties of equal size and thickness, about 3 1/2 inches across.
3. When the grill is medium-hot, brush the grate with oil. Grill the burgers for 4 minutes, then flip and cook 3 to 4 minutes more, until medium-rare or more; cook longer for well done.
4. Meanwhile, separate the English muffins and toast the 6 halves cut side down on the grill.
5. Spread each muffin half with mayonnaise, top with a burger, then add a heaping tablespoon of caramelized onions. Serve hot.
6. For the caramelized onions, heat the olive oil and butter in a large shallow pot, add the onions and thyme, and toss to coat. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to sweat the onions.
7. Uncover and keep cooking over medium-low heat, stirring now and then, for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Lower the heat if they cook too fast.
8. Add the sherry vinegar, salt and pepper and cook 2 more minutes, scraping up the browned bits. Taste and season well.
