Instruction

  • <p>In a large bowl, carefully mix the meats, steak sauce, egg yolks, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash the mixture.  Lightly form hamburger patties and press lightly into shape.  Press a thin slice of butter into the top of each hamburger, making sure the meat entirely encases the butter.</p> <p>Prepare a charcoal or a stovetop grill and cook the hamburgers for 4 minutes on one side, turn, and cook 3 minutes on the other side for medium-rare.  Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.  Allow the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, grill the buns, cut side down, for 1 minute, until toasted.  Place a hamburger and a slice of blue cheese in each bun, plus arugula and tomato serve hot. </p>
