Gorgonzola Burgers

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck, 80 percent lean
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 beefsteak tomatoes (slightly under ripe is best)
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled or cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• Six 4-inch ciabatta rolls (square or round) or your favorite burger bun, halved horizontally
• 1 cup fresh arugula

1. Combine the ground chuck, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and the pepper in a medium bowl and shape into six 1/2-inch-thick patties.
2. Slice the tomatoes into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and place on a baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle with the paprika and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
4. Rub with the olive oil.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
6. Grill the burgers until cooked to the desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
7. On a clean, well-oiled area of the grill, grill the tomatoes until just charred, about 2 minutes per side.
8. Grill the ciabatta rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
9. Place the burgers on the bottom halves of the rolls.
10. Top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the gorgonzola, a tomato slice and some arugula.
11. Cover with the roll tops and serve.
