Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground sirloin
- 2 tbsp Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, chopped sage, crumbled Gorgonzola, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil to prevent the burgers from sticking.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F internal temperature for medium). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth to create a flavorful burger spread.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the bottom halves of the buns. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a crisp salad.
