BLACK AND BLUE BURGER
Steps:
- For the blackening spice: In a small mixing bowl, combine the pepper, cumin, granulated onion, cayenne, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, chili powder and salt. Mix to blend. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.
- For the garlic butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and garlic, and cook until the butter has melted and garlic has become fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Mix in the parsley. Reserve to the side in a small bowl.
- For the donkey sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, roasted garlic, mustard, salt, Worcestershire and pepper. Mix well. Cover and reserve.
- For the black and blue burger: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into eight portions; roll each into a loose ball, then flatten into a 4-inch patty. On four of the patties, place 2 ounces of the blue cheese. Cover with a second patty and gently seal the edges to form a stuffed patty about 1 1/2-inches thick.
- Season the stuffed patties on both sides with the blackening spice. Grill, spaced 3 inches apart to prevent flare ups, until a crust has developed on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook to develop a crust on the reverse side, 2 minutes. Top each burger with 2 slices of bacon and 1 ounce of the remaining blue cheese. Cover with a piece of foil and cook another 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Remove the burgers to a serving tray to rest.
- Lightly brush the cut sides of the brioche buns with garlic butter, and toast on the grill until crisp and golden, 5 to 10 seconds.
- To assemble: Smear the buns with some donkey sauce. Layer the bottom buns with pickles, onions and a burger. Top with tomatoes and lettuce. Cover with the bun tops and secure with wooden skewers. Serve.
BLACK AND BLUE STEAK BURGER
Why chop up perfectly good steaks to make burgers? Why, for the extraordinary taste and texture, of course; and it's nice to know exactly what you're eating. Most ground meat from the store is too fine, horribly overworked, and a little tough by the time you form it into patties. We avoid that problem by using a sharp knife and partially frozen meat. Plus, the sharp, savory funkiness of blue cheese helps form a glorious crust as the meat sears into it.

Steps:
- Slice steaks in half, then into strips about 1/4-to 1/2-inch-thick. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until very cold and firm, but not quite frozen, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place blue cheese in the freezer as well so it's easier to handle.
- Chop the partially frozen steak with a sharp knife or meat cleaver until it resembles coarsely ground meat. Crumble about 1/2 cup (unpacked) blue cheese on top; use the cleaver to fold and chop it into the meat.
- Lightly dampen your hands with water and roll the mixture into 3 or 4 patties. Flatten onto individual pieces of plastic wrap; seal and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Unwrap patties and continue pressing them to your desired thinness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a dry cast iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear each patty, without disturbing it, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the surface springs back when lightly pressed, about 3 minutes more.
- Spread some mayonnaise over each bottom bun half. Serve patties on the buns, topped with pickled red onions.

Tips:
- Always start with high-quality ground beef. Look for beef that is at least 80% lean.
- Don't overwork the beef when making the patties. Overworking the beef will make the burgers tough.
- Season the beef patties liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Make a well in the center of each patty before cooking. This will help the burger cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burger while keeping the inside juicy.
- Don't flip the burgers too often. Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Top the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
- Serve the burgers immediately. Black and blue burgers are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
