Ultimate Burgers

Serves 4

Grilled onions, melted Swiss and the ripest tomatoes available make this burger a classic!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 sprig rosemary
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large Vidalia or WallaWalla onions, thickly sliced
1/3 pound regular or lite sliced Jarlsberg cheese
4 whole grain hamburger buns
4 lettuce leaves
2 large tomatoes, thickly sliced
Tangy barbecue sauce

Method

Prepare the grill. Shape sirloin into 4 patties and season all over with salt and pepper; set aside. Remove leaves from rosemary sprig, then roughly chop them and transfer them to a small bowl with the oil. Brush onions with half of the oil mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Grill onions, carefully turning them once, until golden and soft. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Grill patties over a medium hot fire until desired doneness, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. When they are almost done, melt cheese slices on top.

Meanwhile, brush buns with remaining oil, then grill until just toasted. Place burgers on buns, top with onion slices and serve with lettuce, tomatoes and barbeque sauce.
