Triple Cheese Griddle Burgers With Crispy Cherry Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Lightly mix together the sirloin, brisket, chuck, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper and the garlic powder in large bowl with a fork until just combined.
• Divide the mixture into 6 equal mounds. Gently press each meat mound between two sheets of wax paper to make a thin patty, each about 4 inches wide and a little under 1/2 inch thick. (I used a tortilla press for this. If you don't have one, use a rolling pin.) Refrigerate until ready to use. The patties can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle or cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot and smoking. Place each patty on the griddle and cook, undisturbed, until a deeply caramelized crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip each patty and top with a slice of cheese. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer until the cheese is melted and the desired doneness is reached.
• Meanwhile, brush the inside of each bun with melted butter and place on the griddle until toasted, about 1 minute. Place each burger patty on a bottom-bun half. Dress each bun top with ketchup, mustard, onion and pickles and flip on the the burgers. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place a cube of gorgonzola on top of a basil leaf. Roll up the basil around the cheese and stuff into a pepper. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Roast the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the carrots, celery and onions into small pieces, 12 to 15 times. Stir in the canola oil and season with salt. Spread the vegetables in a thin layer on a baking sheet, place in the center of the oven and roast until caramelized and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool.
• For the cheese sauce: In a medium pot, simmer the cream over medium heat. Whisk in the mustard, soy, hot sauce and garlic. Sprinkle in the cheeses so they don't clump as they melt. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Keep warm.
• For the burgers: In a medium bowl, break up the meat and spread it up on the sides. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Divide the meat into 12 portions and roll each into a ball. Place the meatballs on a clean surface and gently flatten them into small 1/2-inch patties.
• Heat a griddle or 2 large heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillets and add half the canola oil to each. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the patties in a single layer and cook over high heat, using a metal spatula to flatten and "smash" slightly, for 2 minutes. Flip them on their second side, adding additional oil as needed, and press down again to smash and brown them, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Stir the chopped pickles, pickle juice and ketchup into the roasted vegetables. Place a patty on each roll bottom. Spoon some roasted vegetable mix on each. Top with a little cheese sauce. Repeat this layering two times more. Pour over the remaining cheese sauce and red onion slices and top with the roll tops.

Steps:

• Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Put 2 bread slices in the skillet, buttered-side down. Layer a slice each of cheddar, Swiss and American cheese on each piece of bread, then cover with another bread slice, buttered-side up.
• Cook, pressing the sandwiches occasionally with a spatula, until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat to make 2 more sandwiches. Slice each sandwich diagonally in half, then return to the hot pan, cut-side down, to create a crust on the cheese.
