When is something as delicious as sirloin steak not a sirloin steak? When it’s a sumptuous Sirloin Steak Burger of course! Steak Burgers are packed with more flavour than just what’s on top! With fresh ground Round, Chuck or Sirloin from your local grocer, it’s easy to make these signature burgers at home. We take the cheese underground for easier grill management and burgers so delicious from the inside OUT.

Directions

Combine beef, egg, garlic, cheese, bacon, bread crumbs, onion, Worcestershire sauce and rosemary in bowl.

Divide meat into 6 portions. Form into 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick patties. Make thumb-print depression in centre of each patty (to prevent rounding while they grill). Make Ahead: Refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour or up to 1 day.

Grill over medium-high heat for 10 to 14 minutes, turning twice, until digital rapid-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads 160°F (71°C). Top with Melted Mushrooms and Onions (if desired).

Fresh Fennel Slaw

In a small bowl, mix slivers of 1 apple and half a fennel bulb, half a small onion and 1 carrot. Stir in 2 Tbsp EACH lemon juice, rice vinegar, liquid honey, chopped chives, cilantro or mint and black or toasted sesame seeds (optional).
