Gourmet Burgers on The Monolith Junior Kamado

I am running a mini series of videos on our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@TheBarbecueShack and this is the second one featuring the Gluten Free Burgers from GT Orsman Butchers as sold at The Barbecue Shack. There is a video of the plain burgers that I cooked but there isn’t much to say about this as I wanted to taste the burgers on their own. Basically I cooked some burgers and ate them on toasted buns, video on our Youtube channel.

Still a gourmet burger is different only in as much as the trimmings that you place on the bun with the burger. In this instance I used lettuce, tomatoes, onions, gherkins and a nice burger sauce, I was going to melt some of our 50/50 sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese mix on the pattie but I forgot, oh well no one is perfect.

So basically I light the Monolith Junior kamado barbecue and whilst it was reaching temperature I placed a plancha into it to heat up to cook the burgers and toast the buns then seasoned the burgers with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. I placed these in the fridge whilst I prepared the onions, salad and buns.

Once the kamado was up to temperature I put oil on the plancha then placed the burgers on to sear and get some char on them. Once this had happened I flipped them then moved the burgers to a cooler side and placed the onions on to cook. Once these were ready I removed the onions and then toasted the buns that were spread with Mayonnaise, a real game changer for burgers. With the burgers cooked, onions cooked and the buns toasted I took them off the kamado and built the burgers. Lettuce first followed by some tomato then a layer of burger sauce. I then placed the burger itself followed by the sliced gherkins, another layer of burger sauce, then the fried onions, some more lettuce and the top bun. Eh voila, a delicious gourmet burger…..you should try it.
