Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grates
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef sirloin
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 seeded hamburger buns, split
- Fresh basil leaves, for topping
- Giardiniera, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
- Gently mix the beef, oregano, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl until just combined.
- Shape the meat into 4 6-ounce patties, about 5-inches in diameter. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty and lightly sprinkle the outside of the patties with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium, adding a slice of cheese to each burger during the last minute of cooking.
- Mix the mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar together in a small bowl. Quickly toast the buns on the grill for about 1 minute and then spread with some of the mayonnaise mixture. Top with a burger and then some fresh basil leaves. Serve with giardiniera on the side.
