The folks who run Calgary's best steakhouse, Charcut Roast House, are behind the Alley Burger truck—and this towering burger recipe.
Burgers
8 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
500 g lean ground beef, preferably Angus chuck
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup cheese curds
4 leaves lettuce
4 sesame burger buns
8 slices tomato
8 slices red onion
12 slices dill pickle
20 slices jalapeno
Aioli
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp piri piri sauce
Instructions
For aioli: Stir mayonnaise with piri piri sauce in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
HEAT a cast iron grill pan over medium-high. Lay bacon on grill and cook until crisp, flipping halfway through, about 3 min. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Discard oil in pan.
MIX beef with salt and pepper and shape into 4 patties. Add to hot grill pan and cook 5 min. Flip burgers and cook 2 min. Top with cheese curds and cook 3 more min. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
HEAT a large non-stick pan over medium-high. Add oil, then crack eggs into the pan. Cover, and cook until set, but yolks are still runny, about 2 min.
ASSEMBLE burgers by laying a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Transfer burgers to buns. Top each burger with bacon, 2 slices each tomato and onion, pickles, a fried egg and jalapeno slices. Drizzle with aioli and sandwich with top bun. Serve immediately.
