Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Neely's Dry Rub seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Butter
6 brioche buns
6 slices pepper jack cheese
12 slices smoked apple wood bacon, fried crisp
1/2 cup Neely's "Secret Sauce", recipe follows
1 pint cole slaw (recommended: Neely's Cole Slaw)
2 beef steak tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Directions Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a large mixing bowl, break up the meat with your hands. Add the chopped shallot, garlic, Neely's Dry Rub, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. Using your hands, divide the meat into 6 equal balls. Flatten them into patties and use your thumb to create an indent in the center of each burger. Cook's Note: This indent will help the burgers from puffing up while you grill them. Grill the burgers, uncovered, for 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and continue cooking for another 3 minutes for medium-rare, and 4 minutes for medium. Remove from grill and immediately top with the cheese. Butter the buns and place on the grill. Toast for about 1 minute and remove from grill. Build your burgers by topping with the bacon, Secret Sauce, coleslaw, and tomatoes. Add onion rings if desired. Neely's Secret Sauce: 1/3 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons buttermilk 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (recommended: Neely's BBQ sauce) 1/2 lemon, juiced 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Mix all the ingredients together in s medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving, allowing the flavors to develop. Can be made a day ahead.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef: Use ground chuck or sirloin for a juicy and flavorful burger.
  • Season the beef properly: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to season the beef.
  • Don't overwork the beef: Mix the beef just enough to combine the ingredients. Overworking the beef will make it tough.
  • Form the patties gently: Use your hands to gently form the beef into patties. Avoid pressing down on the patties, as this will make them dense.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Flip the burgers only once: Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry. Flip the burgers once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium-rare, 165°F for medium, or 170°F for well-done.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.

The Memphis Beale Street Burger is a delicious and iconic burger that is sure to please everyone. With its juicy beef patty, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and flavorful sauce, this burger is a must-try for any burger lover. Follow the tips above to make the best Memphis Beale Street Burger at home.
