Servings: persons

1 1/2 lbs good-quality ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 hamburger buns
4 pieces tender romaine leaves
1/2 cup blue cheese, i.e. Stilton, Gorgonzola, Saint Agur, etc
caramelized onion
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cups onions, finely sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1
In a large bowl, mix together beef, Worcestershire sauce, egg, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, soy sauce and olive oil until combined.
2
Form into 4 equal-size patties, making sure not to compact them too hard, or they will become dense and heavy. Refrigerate until the caramelized onions are finished.
3
For the caramelized onions, heat olive oil over medium-high in a medium saucepan. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, 1/4 cup (60 mL) water, balsamic vinegar and sugar. Lower heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove lid, continue cooking to thicken the liquid and glaze the onions, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
4
When onions are halfway finished, preheat grill to medium-high.
5
Grill the burgers on one side until grill marks are attained, about 5 minutes with lid closed. Flip and grill the second side another 5 minutes. If burgers need more time to cook, move them to a cooler area on the grill to avoid burning. Finish cooking to desired doneness.
6
Fill each bun with a piece of romaine lettuce, then a burger, top with onions and a large piece of blue cheese.
