Cheesesteak Burger

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1 package (400 g) shredded cabbage salad mix
• 1 cup chopped giardiniera, drained
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 450 g of ground beef
• 8 slices American cheese
• 4 sesame seed buns, halved and toasted

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the coleslaw mix, giardiniera, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
2. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the onion, bell pepper, and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned and tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
3. Form the ground beef into 4 small, thick patties, 2 inches (5 cm) wide and 3 inches (7 cm) high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the patties and flatten them with a metal spatula, pressing firmly until very thin. Season with salt and black pepper and cook until the patties are golden brown and crispy around the edges, about 2 minutes.
4. Flip, season with salt and pepper, and top with 2 slices of cheese, then the onion and pepper. Continue cooking until the patties are cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 1 more minute. Transfer the patties to buns. Serve with coleslaw.
