PERFECT BURGER

Steps:

• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
• IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
• Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

PERFECT BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the ground beef evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
• Preheat a grill to high. Season the patties with salt and pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 3 to 5 more minutes; if desired, top each burger with 2 slices cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover with a disposable aluminum pan to melt.
• Serve the patties on the buns; top with lettuce and tomato.

• Heat a skillet over medium heat; lay pancetta slices in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook until pancetta begins to sweat, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pancetta from skillet and keep warm.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook patties on the preheated grill until burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well burgers. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Place 1 burger into each of the buns; top burger with a pancetta slice.

• Mix in beef.
• Shape into four 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Or layer between waxed paper in airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in refrigerator).

• Place in hamburger buns.

PUB-STYLE CORNED BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: Place a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter, onions, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and most of the water evaporates, about 12 minutes. Add the dry mustard, onion powder, coriander, allspice, cloves, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet, cover with aluminum foil to stay warm and set aside. Reserve the skillet.
• For the stout BBQ sauce: Add the sugar and tomato paste to the same skillet, spreading the mixture into an even layer. Cook until just bubbly, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the beer and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the vinegar, coriander, dry mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by about a third, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth and free of clumps. Whisk the slurry into the sauce and simmer until it coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes more. Set aside.
• For the burgers: Rip the corned beef into small 2-inch pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until shredded into small pieces just larger than peas, then transfer to a large bowl. Using your hands, break the ground beef into small pieces over the corned beef. Add the dry mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and gently combine the mixture with your hands until thoroughly combined. Form the meat into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
• To prepare the burgers, place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt. Once the bubbles subside, place the patties into the skillet and gently press down. Cook, undisturbed, until deeply browned on the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip over. Mound 1/3 cup of the caramelized onions on top of each patty. Top each patty with 2 slices of cheese, allowing the cheese to hang over the sides of the onions. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese fully melts and drapes over the burger, about 2 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook until the cheese gets a crispy, lacy edge, about 1 minute more. Place the patties onto the bottom halves of the burger buns. Generously spoon the stout BBQ sauce on top (about 2 tablespoons per burger). Place the top halves of the buns the patties. Serve immediately with french fries drizzled in more stout BBQ sauce.

SOUTHERN MUSHROOM-BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the pimiento cheese: In a bowl, mix both cheddars, the cream cheese, pimientos, mayonnaise, chives, garlic powder, cayenne and paprika. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the reserved pimiento liquid to loosen slightly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the patties: In a bowl, combine the beef, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon black pepper. Form into 6 extra-large patties, about 8 ounces each. Make a little indentation in the center of each patty.
• Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 150˚ F to 155˚ F (I like my burger medium well), topping each patty with a large dollop of the pimiento cheese during the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking. If you like your patties more on the rare side, take them off the grill when the internal temperature reaches 140˚ F. Remove the patties and cover with foil for about 5 minutes. While the burgers rest, slather the buns with melted butter and place them on the grill for about a minute (keep an eye on them to avoid burning).
• Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise and barbecue sauce in a small bowl. To assemble the burgers, spread the barbecue mayonnaise on the bottom buns. Top with the lettuce and tomatoes. Add the burgers, red onions and pickles. Place the bun tops on the burgers.
