Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 pound freshly ground sirloin
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 5 dashes tabasco Pepper Sauce
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
- 4 slices baked ham
- 4 thick slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 large sesame seed buns, split and brushed with butter
Instructions
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
- To make the spread, combine the relish and mustards in a small bowl and stir to blend.
- Set aside.
- To make the patties, combine the sirloin, garlic, chile powder, cumin, cilantro, and pepper sauce in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns.
- When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. Just before the patties are done, turn a second time and place a ham slice and a cheese slice on top of each patty. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
- To assemble the burgers, spread the pickle spread over the cut sides of the buns. On each bun bottom, place a patty. Add the bun tops and serve.
