Horseradish Roquefort Burger
- 1 1/2 pounds 80% lean, coarse ground beef, cold (keep the meat in the fridge until you are ready to cook)
- salt and pepper
- 4 large hamburger buns of your choice
- (use a sturdy roll that has a texture more like a ciabatta, with a good chew)
- good quality mayo and prepared horseradish, equal parts, mixed together well
- 4 - 6 ounces Roquefort, or any good quality blue cheese, divided into 4 parts and chilled
- fresh baby arugula
- 1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
- Heat a flat top, cast iron skillet, or nonstick skillet to medium-high. Have all your burger ingredients ready for assembly on your counter.
- Form ground beef into 4 patties. Don't pack the meat, or handle it too much. Use a light hand for tender, juicy burgers. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on your taste. Remove to a clean platter.
- While burgers are grilling, lightly toast the cut side of your buns. Remove to a clean platter.
- Now build your burger!
- Spread both cut sides of buns with horseradish mayo.
- On the bottom bun, place a small handful of arugula, followed by a hot burger, then some cold cheese, some sliced onions, and another dollop of horseradish mayo, if you like. Put your bun tops on, and have at it!
