How to Make an Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger with George Motz

Today, we're visited by burger scholar and extraordinaire, George Motz, who shows us how to make the legendary Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger with just five ingredients!
Motz says, "One of the burgers I’ve become known for is something that I did not invent. It’s a very basic burger called the Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger. It is probably one of the most important hamburgers in hamburger history, because back in the beginning, to flavor burgers, they would simply take onions and then put them either in or on the burger. Onions predate ketchup, predate cheese, everything else."
Ingredients:
-Martin's Sandwich Potato Rolls
-75/25 prime chuck from Schweid & Sons (two 3-oz. balls)
-American Cheese
-Thin-sliced sweet Vidalia onions
-Salt
-(Optional) Pickles
George Motz is an Emmy-award winning filmmaker, founder of the Food Film Festival, author of 4 burger books including The Great American Burger Book, a regional hamburger cookbook. He is currently the host of Complex Media's Burger Scholar Sessions on First We Feast. The NY Times has called him the foremost authority on burgers and he is currently hard at work on opening his very own burger joint. George lives in Brooklyn, NY with his 2 children and a large collection of outdoor grilling equipment.

[@TheBrutalWaffle]

Mandoline should work fine for this

[@jasonrhome710]

Lol. You could probably griddle some thinly sliced onion with a touch of salt for a bit on the side before starting the burger smash. (If you do not have the mandoline suggested by TheBrutalWaffle.)

[@Ragmatras]

Very sharp knife will be fine. They're not that expensive i guess.

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

I made these today. A couple notes: instead of a mandolin, you can in a pinch use the widest side of a box cheese grater for the onions. They won’t be paper thin, but they’ll be close. I was a bit skeptical of the whole purist approach with no toppings besides a pickle or two, but as soon as I bit into it, it was the most burger-tasting burger I have ever tasted. To me, it tasted of racetrack or state fair food stands. Any place that has one of those white corrugated plastic diner menus with black stick-on letters and red numbers.

I made a double Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger for the fist time this evening. 80/ 20 organic beef chuck, salt, onions and American cheese. Unfortunately, we can't get potato rolls here in The Netherlands. Nonetheless, warmed up my bun as in the video. This is an excellent method of making a burger, so simple and the results are so irresistably tasty. With the house still smelling of fried onions and beef, I now want another one.

[@JP-mj2dp]

[@ogivecrush]

My brother's former wife had a condition where onions- even the smallest amount- would make her violently run at both ends. Had nothing to do with whether she liked them or not. She told me this because I bugged her about always having to make sure her food at family dinners was completely onion-free....I thought she was just being a picky pain in the butt and I felt really bad when I learned the truth. It was a terrible thing because onions- especially in the form of onion powder- are in LOTS of packaged/processed food.....she had to be ultra-careful with everything.

[@justinsmith1001]

Smashing them within 30 seconds doesn't cause all the juices to come out because it hasn't cooked yet. This has been tested if you want to research it online... maybe a very minimal amount of juice loss compared to no smashing. What you get, is an abundance of delicious crispy edges that form a contrast to the rich fattiness and creamy cheese. You won't get these crispy edges on a traditional BBQ or steakhouse burger. It's not necessarily BETTER than a delicious steakhouse burger style, just different and amazing.

I almost didn't try this one because of the deli slicer, but I used a cheapo walmart mandolin slicer that I'd bought long ago and never actually tried before and the onion sliced very thin. After eating this Oklahoman art, the mustard and ketchup bottles are hereby banished. The subtle flavors of onion, salt and beef are better without those heavy flavors on top.

@@Thuazabi Yay for knife skills! Although if you're doing a lot of onions a slicer is a wonderful thing. I would hate to have to NEED one, though. The fewer gizmos you have to rely on, the better cook you are IMO.

"Use this bun to make an Oklahoman burger" Can't get that bun in Oklahoma.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Ok... but it's the actual burger that's called the Oklahoma onion burger, he chose the potato buns, it's not a requirement for the burger. Damn dude, you can make the burger on any bun and it will still be an Oklahoma onion burger.

@@TheRoadhammer379 Wow....that really set you off, didn't it? As an Oklahoman I have to say it's WAY ironic that he chose to make such an iconic exemplar of Oklahoma regional cuisine with a bun which isn't available there. Dude.

Don't be alarmed, but there is a floating tumble weed behind you!

[@Christopher_T_Paul]

He is trying to model his hair on that tumbleweed.
