8 servings arugula and tomatoes sliced for serving, optional
0.8 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
8 ounces cheese blue sliced (recommended: Danish )
3 extra large eggs
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground sirloin
8 hamburger buns
1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
0.5 cup seasoned bread crumbs dry
0.3 cup steak sauce (recommended: Crosse and Blackwell)
Equipment
bowl
grill
aluminum foil
stove
Directions
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.
Prepare a charcoal or a stove-top grill.
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.
