1
Heat butter and olive oil in a pan, add sliced red onions, and begin caramelizing on medium heat for about 25 minutes.
2
Prepare ground beef by combining chuck, brisket, and short rib that have been chilled for about 20 minutes. Grind the meat, keeping enough fat for flavor.
3
Shape the ground beef into patties, seasoning only with kosher salt and pepper. Keep the mixture loose and avoid overworking to ensure a juicier burger.
4
Make homemade peanut butter by processing roasted unsalted peanuts in a food processor, stopping to check consistency. Add salt and neutral oil, then continue processing until reaching desired smoothness.
5
Make the peanut sauce by combining homemade peanut butter with chili crisp, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
6
Finish the caramelized onions by adding brown sugar and soy sauce, stirring until well coated and flavored.
7
Heat oil in a cast iron pan to medium-high. Add patties, season with salt and pepper, and leave undisturbed for about 3 minutes until one side is golden.
8
Flip the patties, season again with salt and pepper, and cook for about 1.5 minutes. Top with American cheese, cover with a lid, and let it melt.
9
Toast the burger buns by lightly spreading mayo on the cut sides and toasting them in the same pan until golden brown.
10
Assemble the burger: spread peanut sauce on the toasted bottom bun, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, top generously with caramelized onions, add a bit more sauce to the top bun, and close it up.
