Slammin' Burgers and Grilled Romaine

MaskedMarvel

Greetings friends,

First time with burgers on the new Egg.  Decided to do a bit of a TRex style, so I put an old grate down on the top of the firebox, seared them off for three minutes, and finished them on the regular grate at ~400 next to Romaine hearts drizzled with grapeseed oil and salt and pepper.  Great suggestion, that one.  If I find the post for who recommended those I'll give you a TU later.  EDIT - it was STIKE!!!

Burgers were from a local farm and were grass fed.  Seasoned only with S&P and Thermapenned to ~130*.  Melted pepperjack over them, with mushrooms sauteed in basil and rosemary grapeseed oil with SP and paprika.  Grilled a few slices of maple cured bacon.   A fresh Roma slice, a raw romaine leaf, and toasted onion rolls finished the deal.

Perhaps a few photos to prove it happened?

Other than changing an IPA for the wine, perfect! I order that at Duffy's all the time but have yet to make more than a burger or two on my Egg. And I'm anxious to try the grilled lettuce thing, too!

Couldn't stand it anymore! Thawed some lean ground beef and fired up the Egg! Stabilized it at 500F and threw on some burgers for me and the boys to have for lunch. I got a long way to go on burgers. Shape is primary, mine came out too fat. And thanks for the warning on how juicy they were going to be, my son's still laughing about what came out of mine on the first bite. I overcooked them (well instead of medium rare) but other than that they were great!  Grilled the lettuce, too, which was interesting. We'll get better, not a bad start. Of course, no pictures, so it didn't really happen! Now. What's for dinner?????

Looks great...I may have to stop cleaning the garage and fire up some burgers for lunch!  Great job.  And great posting of the pictures.  Nice!

If I inspired even one of you to try burgers today, it was worth it...

...Screw THAT!  LOL It was worth it anyway.

Thanks for the compliments gang - they may have been the best burgers I've ever had..
