Ingredients
-
2 carrots, julienned or spiralized
-
1 small bunch radishes, thinly sliced
-
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
-
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
¼ cup mayonnaise
-
1 clove garlic
-
2 tablespoons Sriracha or sambal
-
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
-
salt and pepper
-
1 ½ pounds ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
-
1 tablespoon canola oil
-
4 slices cheddar cheese
-
4 Cobblestone Bread Co.™ Kaiser Rolls
-
Mint, Thai basil, and cilantro
Instructions
-
Combine the carrots, radishes, and jalapeño in a mixing bowl and toss with the vinegar and sugar. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, Sriracha, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and set that aside as well.
-
Divide the beef into 4 equal portions about 6 ounces each. Form each portion into a ¾ inch thick burger, making a depression in the center with your hand. Season with salt and pepper, and brush the burgers lightly with oil.
-
Heat EGG over high heat (450-650°F/232-343°C). Grill the burgers for 3 minutes on the first side, until slightly charred and golden. Flip the burgers and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. Top with the cheese and cook for another minute (for medium rare. You can adjust the cooking times according to your desired doneness).
-
Meanwhile, place the rolls on the EGG cut-side down and lightly toast for a couple minutes.
-
By now, your burgers should be done. Remove from the EGG and tent with foil to allow them to rest for a minute. Spread the spicy mayo onto each roll, and top with the burgers. Then top with your pickled vegetable mix and herbs. Serve!
