Ingredients
2 pounds lean ground sirloin
1/3 pound smoked Gouda cheese, diced into 1/4 to 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion or 1/2 large onion
2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika, 2/3 palm full
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palm full
Grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
Generous handful finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 (12-ounce) bottle beer
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
1/4 to 1/3 cup sour cream
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
4 crusty Kaiser rolls, split and lightly toasted
Green or red leaf lettuce, for topping
Sliced sweet bread and butter pickles, for topping
Directions
- Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
- Place the meat in a bowl and add the cheese. Peel the onion and halve it, if using the medium onion. Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping. Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer then form 4 large patties making them a little thinner at the center than at edges. Burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
- Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
- Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.
