Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (equal mix of ground brisket, chuck and rib-eye)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small sweet onion, sliced into thin rings
8 slices Cheddar
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
4 English muffins, split
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons finely diced gherkins
1 tablespoon sliced chives
12 dill pickle slices, if desired
8 Gem lettuce leaves, cut to the size of the English muffins
Directions
- Prepare a gas grill with a grill pan for medium heat.
- Gently form the ground beef into 4 loosely packed patties, making sure not to over work the meat. Season the burgers with salt and pepper.
- Place 4 onion rings on the grill and press a burger patty onto each one. Let this cook together until the burgers caramelize on that side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the burgers and top with 2 slices cheese (on top of the onions), then continue to cook to your desired temperature.
- Spread 1 tablespoon butter onto each English muffin. Season with salt and pepper, then toast on the grill.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon, mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, gherkins and chives. Fold together until evenly incorporated.
- To assemble, spread the special sauce on both slices of each English muffin. Stack the burgers on the bottom slices, then the pickles (if using), lettuce and top slices of English muffin.
