Ingredients:: 10
Serves:: 4-6

ingredients

1 lb ground New York strip steaks or 1 lb ground sirloin
6 slices cheddar cheese, cut thick
1 egg
¹⁄₂ teaspoon kosher salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 gourmet hamburger buns (or whatever you have)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon heavy cream
¹⁄₄ cup breadcrumbs

directions

Mix egg, salt and pepper, worestershire sauce, heavy cream, and bread crumbs together and add meat. Don't over mix, but incorporate everything together.
Try to divide it in the bowl into 4-6 equal parts.
On small pieces of wax paper, start forming the meat patties, while adding a little pad of butter in the middle and form the patty around it.
Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, so the patties bind together.
Cook about 6 minutes per side, depending on the heat of your grill or grill pan. DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON THE PATTY. I know its tempting.
Melt cheddar slices on the last 45 seconds of cooking.
Let rest 2 minutes and serve hot on toasted buns with traditional accompaniments, including caramelized or grilled onions.

A nice tasting burger. I've gotten lazy over the years by buying the frozen patties so this was a real treat by eating a "real hamburger" for a change. I use to work years ago in a bar & grill. If the owner ever caught me squishing a hamburger while I was grilling it she would have fired me for sure. The secret to a juicy hamburger is never to "squish" it while grilling or frying no matter how tempting it is. This goes for frozen patties too.

Well, I was getting ready to give this 5 stars, when I realized that I had not added the egg. So I figured I couldn't really fairly rate this since I didn't really follow the recipe. But it was a smashing success even without the egg! I made these for a forth of July cook out and my Nephews said "Yeah, real Hamburgers!, not those frozen things." This recipe combines techniques from several different recipes I have used in the past and used all together you have a great burger.
