Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 shakes hot sauce (recommended : tabasco)
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin (preferably on mandolin)
12 oz ground beef
1/4 cup ham, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano
1/4 cup gruyere, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 large clove garlic , smashed and finely chopped
kosher salt
2 slices gruyere
2 sesame seed buns
1/2 cup mayonnaise mixed with 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 slices beefsteak tomato
1 cup baby arugula, washed

Directions:

For the pickled onions: Combine the salt, sugar, vinegar, water, and hot sauce in a container with a lid. Shake to incorporate everything really well. Add the onions and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
For the burger: Preheat the grill. Combine all the burger ingredients and season well with salt. Form into 2 equal patties. Grill each burger for about 4 minutes on each side. During the last 2 minutes of grill time, top each burger with a slice of cheese.
Open the buns and place the inside on the grill, and grill until the bun is lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
To assemble: Schmear the inside of each toasted bun with the garlic mayo. Place the burger patty on the bottom bun. Top each burger with a few pickled onions, a tomato slice, and some arugula. Top with the top half of the bun.
