In a large bowl, mix together beef, Worcestershire sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, soy sauce and oil until mixed. Shape into 4 patties.
Refrigerate until the caramelized onions are finished.
Heat oil over medium-high in a saucepan. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, ¼ cup (60 mL) water, balsamic vinegar and sugar. Lower heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove lid, continue cooking about 3 minutes.
