Ultimate Summer Plt Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill and position the rack 4 inches above medium-high heat, or heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill.
• Form the beef into 6 patties, about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, and sprinkle on both sides with the salt and pepper. Grill the burgers, charring well on both sides, until almost but not quite as done as desired, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Gas grills may require 1 to 2 minutes more total cooking.) Transfer the burgers to a rack to rest for 5 minutes. Top each burger with about 1/2 tablespoon of the butter and a sprinkling of the chopped parsley. Meanwhile, toast the English Muffins on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Reheat the burgers on the grill for about 1 minute. Serve them on the toasted English muffins, topped with the tomato slices.

Steps:

• Prepare a gas grill with a grill pan for medium heat.
• Gently form the ground beef into 4 loosely packed patties, making sure not to over work the meat. Season the burgers with salt and pepper.
• Place 4 onion rings on the grill and press a burger patty onto each one. Let this cook together until the burgers caramelize on that side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the burgers and top with 2 slices cheese (on top of the onions), then continue to cook to your desired temperature.
• Spread 1 tablespoon butter onto each English muffin. Season with salt and pepper, then toast on the grill.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon, mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, gherkins and chives. Fold together until evenly incorporated.
• To assemble, spread the special sauce on both slices of each English muffin. Stack the burgers on the bottom slices, then the pickles (if using), lettuce and top slices of English muffin.
