Ingredients:
1 tablespoon salt |
1 teaspoon 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 ounces 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 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 slices beefsteak tomato |
1 cup baby arugula, washed |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Open the buns and place the inside on the grill, and grill until the bun is lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
4. 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.
