Ingredients

Directions

  1. Divide the ground sirloin into 4 equal portions.
  2. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten into patties about 4 inches across and 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Cook the patties on a hot grill, under a broiler, or in a very hot skillet without additional fat.
  4. Cook for 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
  5. Transfer the cooked hamburgers to 4 warmed plates and keep warm.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
  7. Crack one egg into the skillet and cook without turning until the white is firm but the yolk remains runny.
  8. Repeat for the remaining eggs, using fresh butter for each if necessary.
  9. Slip one egg, yolk side up, onto the center of each hamburger.
  10. Arrange the anchovy fillets around the egg yolks in a triangular pattern; use them whole or split lengthwise.
  11. In a clean skillet, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.
  12. Cook the butter until it foams and begins to brown, stirring in the capers and chopped parsley.
  13. When the foaming subsides and the butter is nutty brown, pour equal amounts over each egg-topped hamburger.
  14. Serve immediately.
