Pub Burgers

Ingredients:
For the burgers:
hamburger buns

1 lb ground beef or sirloin

4 tbsp butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 tsp vegetable oil

salt

pepper

For the sauce:
3/4 cup mayo
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp worchestire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp chopped chives
1 tsp ground pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

What you'll do:
Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees. Drizzle melted butter over ground meat and add 1 teaspoon pepper. Gently toss the meat with a fork to combine. Divide meat into 4 lightly packed balls. With your hands, gently press and flatten into patties. Refrigerate patties until you are ready to cook, patties can be kept in the fridge for up to one day. In the meantime, for the sauce, whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.  Transfer desired amount of sauce to a separate bowl for finished burgers - the other sauce will be used for basting.

Grill Cooking - Grill Burgers as normal - basting with sauce.  Add Cheese/Toppings.

Stovetop Cooking - When ready to cook, season patties on one side generously with salt and pepper. Flip over and do the same on the other side. Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet over high heat until it is just steaming. Cook burgers for about 2 mintues without moving. Flip burgers and cook on this side for 2 more minutes. Transfer patties to a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 3-6 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium. Transfer burgers to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Toast buns, add desired toppings, and serve.
