Ingredients
12 ounces beef chuck, coarsely ground
12 ounces beef sirloin, coarsely ground
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
[For Serving:] Hamburger buns, coleslaw and potato chips (optional)
Directions
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 20 minutes.
- Gently mix the chuck and sirloin together in a large bowl, making sure not to overwork the mixture.
- Combine the paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, mustard powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef along with the Worcestershire sauce and fold gently to combine. Form the beef into 4 3/4-inch-thick patties, each about 4-inches in diameter. Sprinkle them generously with salt and a pepper.
- Put the patties in the hot skillet (do not press down with a spatula). When the patties are seared and browned on one side, about 3 1/2 minutes, flip and cook on the other side until browned and the burgers are medium-rare, about 3 1/2 minutes more.
- Put the burgers on buns and top with coleslaw and serve with potato chips if using.
