Burger Ingredients
- 1 lb of ground beef (chuck) or ground sirloin – 80/20 ratio
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 white onion, sliced into rings
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into rings
- 4 provolone slices (or cheddar cheese)
- Red leaf lettuce
- Soft burger buns
Roasted Garlic Aioli
- 1 head of garlic (avoid garlic powder)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup full-fat mayonnaise
Instructions
- First, you’ll make the garlic aioli. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Slice the topic of the head of garlic, but don’t tear apart the cloves
- Place garlic in an aluminum packet or pan and pour olive oil on top. Season with salt and let it cook for 40 minutes.
- When done, take the pan out of the oven and let it cool. Squeeze garlic out of the skin and place in a food processor.
- Add mayonnaise and combine the garlic with the mayo.
- Sprinkle Kosher salt and black pepper in the mix to taste, and store in the refrigerator.
- Next, it is time to preheat your pellet grill to 250°F.
- Take a bowl and combine ground beef, Montreal Steak seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and salt & pepper.
- Form the mixture into even hamburger patties and make a slight indentation in the middle.
- Sautee your cut onions and pepper in a heated skillet for about 8-10 minutes on high heat.
- Place the burger patties on the pellet grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F – be sure to check with a meat thermometer. Flip the patties halfway through the cooking process.
- Meanwhile, place the buns on the grill and wait until they’re toasted with crispy edges.
- Always monitor the meat patties until they reach the desired internal temperature. Once they do, turn off the grill, place the cheese on the patties, and close the lid.
- Let it sit until the cheese melts for roughly 1 minute.
- Next compose your burger. Take your toasted buns, place patties on them, and add aioli sauce, lettuce, onions, and peppers.
- Serve your smoked hamburger alongside your favorite side dish.
Notes
- Whenever possible, grind your own meat for your burger patties.
