Step-by-Step Instructions for French Onion Burgers

In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Pour in beef broth and simmer until evaporated.
In a blender, combine minced garlic and egg. Blend while drizzling in olive oil until smooth to create garlic sauce.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Season ground beef and shape into patties. Grill each patty for about 5 minutes per side, topping with onions and Gruyère for the last minute.
Spread garlic sauce on bun halves. Assemble with burgers, onions, and arugula. Top with the other bun half.
Serve burgers with crispy fries or onion rings.
