That’s why this exciting recipe was crafted with only one kind in mind: Omaha Steaks Burgers. These 6-ounce beauties are made from premium Omaha Steaks beef, ground twice to deliver a mouthwatering homemade texture, and feature an 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio for the juiciest and most flavorful bite of your life. Best of all? They’re flash-frozen at peak perfection and individually vacuum-sealed for next-level convenience.

Grilled French Dip Burger With Jim Beam Black® Bourbon Onions
- Trim a thin slice off top and bottom of ciabatta buns to create flat surface area; then slice each bun in half horizontally.
- Lightly and equally spread mayonnaise on outside of buns to enhance browning.
- Pre-heat grill or large saucepan to medium heat and place buns mayonnaise-side down. Top each bun half with brie cheese slice and leave long enough to lightly toast bun and melt cheese, about 1 minute.
- Grill or pan-fry burgers until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, as per a meat thermometer.
- Top each burger equally with Beam Black® Bourbon onions, then place burgers on one side of toasted buns and top with remaining bun.
- Cut in half and serve with hot beef au jus for dipping.
- *Chef’s Note: For simple au jus, mix 1 bouillon cube with 2 cups boiling water.
