Cuban-Style Burgers on the Grill
- 2 lbs ground chuck
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 12 cup best-quality mayonnaise
- 3 cloves roasted garlic, pureed
- 14 cup Dijon mustard
- 4 soft classic hamburger buns
- 8 slices thinly sliced swiss cheese
- 4 slices thinly sliced smoked ham
- 2 dill pickles, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Form the meat into 4 (1/4-inch thick) burgers.
- Season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on both sides for medium doneness.
- When the burgers are done, remove from the heat and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spread both sides of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard.
- Place a slice of cheese on the bottom portion of each bun, place the burger on top of the cheese, then top the cheese with a slice of ham and another slice of cheese, and finally, the pickle slices.
- Place the tops of the bun over the pickles, wrap the burgers in aluminum foil, and place them on the grill.
- Using a heavy pan or a brick wrapped in foil, press down on the burgers for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Lower the lid on the grill and continue grilling for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bun has become pressed and firm.
