Grilled up some burgers tonight (w/ pics)

I had a few ribeyes from Winn Dixie in the ice box and decided I wanted to make burgers out of them. Generally Im not really a fan of WD's cuts of steak anyway, so burgers it was. I drizzled a little vegetable oil on the bottom of my cast iron and placed it on the Primo at about 450*. The goal was to get it hot in order to get that caramelization/crust on the burger.

I dont own a grinder, so I chopped the 2 steaks up and threw them in my food processor. Worked good enough for me.




After all the meat was grounded, I formed into patties, handling the burgers as little as possible. Notice the fat from the ribeye I sprinkled them with sea salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Dimpled the top of each burger to prevent bloating.

To gaston, dinner is ready



Here's a shot of the burgers doing their thang on the grill. 2 minutes per side.




While the burgers were grilling, I prepped these bad boys to go onto the grill once the burgers were finished. An underutilized topping for burgers IMO.



The burgers went on these fine onion buns. I sprayed them with this garlic oil spritzer thing and threw them onto the grill to toast up



Burgers are done. Got the crust that I wanted on them.




I wanted to keep the toppings simple, so I spread some pimento cheese on the onion bun and topped it with the green onions




Final product. I really enjoyed the consistency of the meat. The rougher grind made the texture of the burger more loose I think. You can kind of see the consistency in the picture The pimento cheese melted under the hot burger and almost forged with the green onion. I enjoyed with some tater tots and a pickle.
