- Yield Makes 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 pounds freshly ground beef, combination chuck and shoulder
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for grill
- 4 semolina rolls, split
- Baby lettuce, for garnish
- Sliced plum tomatoes, for garnish
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, make compound herb butter by combining softened butter, thyme, sage, parsley, chives, and rosemary (this can also be done in a food processor). Turn out onto parchment or plastic wrap, and roll into a log, 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, or freeze for up to 1 month.
-
Heat grill or grill pan.
-
Form four 8-ounce, 1-inch-thick burgers. Cut four 1/8-inch-thick slices of compound butter from the log. Make an indentation in the center of each burger, and place half of a compound-butter slice inside. Reshape meat to cover butter, making sure it is not visible from either side; season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Oil grill with a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
-
Grill burgers for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium doneness. Remove from grill, and place each burger on a roll. Serve garnished with lettuce and tomato.
