Ingredients:
2 pounds ground chuck |
1 pound ground sirloin |
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs |
1/4 cup steak sauce (recommended: crosse and blackwell) |
3 extra-large eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
8 to 10 hamburger buns |
8 ounces blue cheese, sliced (recommended: danish blue) |
arugula and sliced tomatoes, for serving, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, carefully mix the meats, bread crumbs, steak sauce, eggs, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash them. Lightly form into 8 to 10 hamburger patties and press lightly into shape.
2. Prepare a charcoal or a stove-top grill.
3. Cook the hamburgers for 4 minutes on 1 side, then 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, if desired, and serve hot.
