Ingredients
• 2 pounds ground sirloin
• 1 medium onion, peeled and cut in 1/2
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
• 2 chipotles in adobo and 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons grill seasoning, a couple of palm fulls, (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1 (15-ounce) can crushed fire roasted tomatoes, about 2 cups
• Salt and pepper
• 12 slices, 1/2-inch thick, brick-cut smoked Cheddar or sharp Cheddar, (recommended: Cabot), optional
• 12 small round rolls, split
• (Many markets sell mini Keiser rolls or use dinner rolls in any flavor you like)
Directions
Preheat grill pan to high.
Place the meat in a bowl. Cut the onion in half. Grate half the onion into the meat using the small grate on a box grater. Chop and reserve the other half onion. Add Worcestershire, chipotles and sauce and grill seasoning to burgers. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the bowl and mix meat. Score the meat into 4 sections. Make 3 mini-burgers, each 3 inches wide, 1-inch thick, from each half-pound of meat.
Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic. Cook garlic 2 to 3 minutes then add sugar and vinegar, cook 2 minutes more and stir in tomatoes. Season sauce with salt and pepper and allow it to reduce 5 to 6 minutes more.
Grill meat 2 to 3 minutes on each side and top with cheese, if you like.
Place burgers on buns and top with raw chopped onions and warm fire roasted ketchup and serve.
As a side dish I baked some homemade fries and Crunch Cabbage Salad. For the fries cut up potato's (with skins on) coat in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, and Rosemary and place on cookie sheet at temp of 375 degrees for 20 min, then turn over and cook an addition 10 to 20 more mins. They should be golden and crispy, and totally yummy.
The Cabbage Salad is: half a head of cabbage roughly chopped, 4 tbs. Green onions, 2 pkgs. Chicken Ramen crunched up, and diced chicken. I boil the chicken with some italian seasoning in the water for 10 min. on medium to med. low heat (you don't want the water bubbling out just a light simmer) Then cool the chicken and cut up to add to the rest.
Dressing
1/3 oil
1/2 red wine vinegar
Chicken seasoning packets
1 tbs. sugar
1 pinch salt
Whisk
Toss all together in dressing and put in fridge, serve once chilled slightly.
