Ramsay's burger includes bacon, cheddar cheese, Sriracha mayonnaise, and brioche buns. I loved Ramsay's burger, which was super juicy and tasted like it came from a top restaurant.Gordon Ramsay has a recipe for the perfect burger that only takes 10 minutes to make. I discovered Ramsay's bacon cheeseburger recipe while exploring his cookbook "Ramsay in 10," which includes 100 recipes inspired by his YouTube series of the same name."From raw ingredients to an incredible juicy burger in just 10 minutes… this is my quickest burger ever!" he writes in the description.Ramsay's 15-minute pasta is one of my all-time favorite recipes, and I loved his recent tips for making the best plate of eggs.So, with the holiday weekend coming up, I decided it was the perfect time to give his burger a try.Ramsay's recipe puts a fun twist on traditional burger ingredients.Ingredients for Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute burger.Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderTo whip up four of Ramsay's perfect cheeseburgers, you'll need: 16 ounces of ground beef 4 brioche buns4-8 slices of bacon 4 slices of cheddar cheese 2 egg yolks1 frozen red chile1 tomato, sliced1 onion, slicedLittle Gem lettuce Ramsay's recipe recommends adding two slices of bacon to each burger. Since the hickory-smoked bacon I had in the fridge was already quite thick, I decided to use only one slice per burger instead — but feel free to add as much bacon as you wish! His sauce also mixes things up from the usual ketchup.Ramsay's Sriracha mayonnaise only requires two ingredients.Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderTo make Ramsay's Sriracha mayonnaise, you'll just need: 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise 2 teaspoons of Sriracha Ramsay says you can add more Sriracha if you want some extra heat. Since I was also making burgers for my parents, who don't love spicy food, I stuck to these measurements. And if spice just isn't your thing, don't worry! Ramsay says you can easily swap the Sriracha for English, Dijon, or whole grain mustard.First, I prepped my chile pepper.Prepping the red chile.Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderRamsay recommends always keeping a handful of chiles in the freezer for burgers, curries, and sauces. "Freezing the chile makes it really easy to grate with minimum fuss," he writes in his cookbook. I took Ramsay's advice and threw my chile in the freezer the night before I made these burgers. I also followed his tip to deseed the chile before grating it for a milder heat. Then, I began making the patties.Adding the egg and seasoning to the ground beef.Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderFirst, I cracked my egg yolks into the bowl with my ground beef. Then, I added my seasonings, sprinkling salt and freshly ground black pepper on top.After throwing in my grated chile, I mixed everything together with clean hands.I divided the beef and formed four patties, each around 1 inch thick.Forming the patties for Ramsay's 10-minute burger.Anneta Konstantinides/Business Insider"Remember that the thicker you make the patties, the longer they will take to cook," Ramsay writes in his cookbook.
