Zuni Burgers

• 1 3/4 pound boneless beef chuck, cut into 3-by-1-inch strips
• Fine sea salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 4 squares of focaccia, split
• Slices of tomato and red onion

1. In a bowl, toss the meat with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
2. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
3. Coarsely grind the meat in a grinder and shape into 1 1/4-inch-thick patties; work quickly so that the meal remains chilled.
4. Light a grill or heat a grill pan or a cast-iron skillet.
5. Season the burgers with salt and pepper and grill or pan-fry over moderately high heat, turning once, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare or until done to your liking.
6. Let rest for 2 minutes, then serve with the focaccia with the tomato and red onion.
