Instructions
Burgers
- Mise en place
- Put the meat in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix lightly.
- Turn the mixture out of the bowl and onto a cutting board.
- Use the burger patty maker to form the mixture into patties at about 4 ounces each.
- Refrigerate the patties until you ready to cook them.
Coleslaw
- Shred the cabbage and mix it with the red wine vinegar. Add about 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise and stir to combine. Refrigerate the remaining mayonnaise.
Make the burgers
- We highly recommend a large cast iron grill/griddle. Heat the grill to at least 500 °F (260 °C). Spray it with olive oil. Put the burgers on the grill and cook them on one side for about 5 minutes then flip them and put the cheese on to melt. The burgers are done when they have reached at least 130 °F (54 °C) on an instant-read thermometer.
- While the burgers are cooking, spread some of the mayonnaise on the buns, and put some lettuce and tomato on each plate with the buns open. When the burgers are cooked, move each one on a bottom bun and top with a few spoonfuls of the slaw.
