Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons granulated onion
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup roasted garlic, minced
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
4 pinches fresh ground black pepper
2 pounds ground beef (premium chuck 80/20 blend)
12 ounces blue cheese, such as Point Reyes
8 slices applewood smoked bacon, cooked crispy
4 soft brioche buns, cut in half
1 kosher dill pickle, finely sliced
1/2 Vidalia onion, very finely sliced
1 heirloom tomato, finely sliced
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, finely sliced
1/4 cup canola oil

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.

  • Bring vinegar to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/2 cup. Stir in the honey and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • For the steak:
  • Heat grill to high. Brush steak on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper.

  • For the pizza:
  • Heat the grill to high.
  • Brush both sides of the pizzas with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, divide the Monterey Jack cheese over the top of each one and then sprinkle with the blue cheese.

Gently punch the dough down and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle that is 1/8-inch thick. Brush off excess flour and transfer the dough to a baking sheet, cover each circle of dough with plastic wrap and continue stacking rolled out pieces on top of each other. Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill.

  • Make sure to thinly slice the steak against the grain for the best texture.
  • Don't overcook the steak. You want it to be cooked to medium-rare or medium so that it remains juicy and tender.
  • Use a high-quality blue cheese for your pizza. A good blue cheese will have a strong, pungent flavor that will stand up to the other ingredients on the pizza.
  • If you don't like blue cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as gorgonzola or goat cheese.
