📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan over medium heat; add the butter. Once the butter is melted and starts to bubble, add the onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for ⏱️ 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown, 45 to ⏱️ 50 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and stir to combine; cook 2 more minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a plate.
2
Combine the ground beef, ground sirloin, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix the beef mixture to thoroughly combine with the seasoning. On a baking sheet, divide the mixture into 6 portions, then divide each of those portions in half, about 2 ½ ounces each. Pat each portion into a 4-inch disk. In the center of 6 patties, fan 6 cheese quarters in a circle, leaving a ½ -inch border. Top the cheese with the remaining 6 meat portions. Pinch the sides firmly to close, and pat into a 4-inch sealed disk.
3
Heat the same cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Place the patties in the skillet and let cook for 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes until golden and crusty. Flip and cook the other side until seared. Remove to a cutting board or baking sheet to rest for at least ⏱️ 5 minutes.
4
Put the caramelized onions back in the pan over medium-low heat to warm.
5
To assemble: place pickles on the bottom bun, then the patty, then onions, and then the top bun.
