Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 3 lb. beef chuck, very cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 Tbs. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese, sliced
- 8 hamburger buns, split
- Melted unsalted butter for brushing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbs. ketchup
- 1 Tbs. sweet relish
- 1/4 tsp. cider vinegar
- Iceberg lettuce leaves, tomato slices and red onion slices for serving
Instruction
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.
- Season the beef with the 1 Tbs. salt and pepper, to taste. Using a KitchenAid mixer fitted with the food grinder attachment, grind the beef with the coarse grinding plate according to the manufacturer's instructions; do not overhandle the meat or pile it more than 2 to 3 inches high after grinding. Separate the ground meat into 8 portions, each about 6 oz. Lightly spray a burger press with nonstick cooking spray. Using minimal pressure, gently form each portion into a patty. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the burgers on the grill, cover the grill and cook until the sides of the burgers are light brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a wide spatula, gently turn the burgers over and place the cheese on top, dividing evenly. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute more. Transfer the burgers to a warmed platter.
- Meanwhile, brush the cut sides of the buns with butter. Place the buns, buttered side down, on the grill and toast until golden, about 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the burgers on the buns with the mayonnaise mixture, lettuce, tomato slices and onion slices. Serves 8.
