Hamburgers Au Poivre is a recipe that hails from France, which literally means 'Hamburgers with Peppercorns.' Hamburgers Au Poivre is a dish that requires minimal ingredients and is a great way to bring a punch of flavor to plain ground beef. The recipe is quick and easy to make, making it a perfect choice for a weeknight dinner for the family. Serve the dish with a side salad or fries and enjoy the fusion of French and American cuisine in one burger!

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, add ground beef, salt, and black pepper.
2.	Mix the beef mixture thoroughly, making sure that the salt and pepper are evenly distributed.
3.	Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form four patties around 1/2 inch thick.
4.	Heat a skillet on medium-high heat, and add butter until melted.
5.	Once the skillet is hot, add the patties, and fry until browned on one side (about 3-4 mins).
6.	Flip the patties and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the other side is browned as well.
7.	Add brandy or cognac and red wine to the skillet and remove from heat.
8.	Once the flame has subsided and the skillet has cooled down a bit, stir the remaining butter in and pour the sauce over the burgers before serving.

PROS

Sharp and flavorful, Hamburgers Au Poivre is an excellent option for those who love peppery foods.
