Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground sirloin
- 1/3 pound smoked Gouda cheese, diced into 1/4 to 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion or 1/2 large onion
- 2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika, 2/3 palm full
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palm full
- Grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
- Generous handful finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 (12-ounce) bottle beer
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 4 crusty Kaiser rolls, split and lightly toasted
- Green or red leaf lettuce, for topping
- Sliced sweet bread and butter pickles, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
- Place the meat in a bowl and add the cheese. Peel the onion and halve it, if using the medium onion. Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping. Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer then form 4 large patties making them a little thinner at the center than at edges. Burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
- Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
- Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.

Reviews
I made these and as usual don’t always follow exact directions but used all ingredients besides grill seasoning and onions. I subbed a homemade rub seasoning and only used a TBS and forwent onions as most of us dislike them. We topped burgers WITH the gouda. Ok, so the recipe was amazing!! I’m shocked by how flavorful these were and that the beer made such a tenderizing difference. I could taste a hint of cumin & loved the sauce combo withdill. I actually printed this recipe & intend to make again.
We have made this both with and without the cheese. We recommend leaving it out. Yummy!!
