RECIPE
Steak-House Burger
Marcus Nilsson
Directions
1.
Cut both meats into small pieces. Grind through the large holes of a meat grinder. Combine in a bowl, then grind together through small holes of grinder. Divide into 4 equal parts (each about 5 1/2 ounces). Form into patties, each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
2.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Skewer onion slices crosswise with presoaked skewers; brush both sides with oil. Season both sides of burgers with salt. Grill burgers 2 1/2 minutes a side for medium-rare, placing cheese on burgers in last minute. Transfer to a plate.
3.
Grill onion until tender and lightly charred, about 4 minutes a side. Meanwhile, grill buns until toasted, 30 seconds. Sandwich burgers and onions (removed from skewers) on buns with mustard mixture, lettuce, and tomatoes.
