Ingredients
Method
Mix and Form the Patties
- Place the ground brisket and ground short ribs into a large bowl.
- Season with the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Use your hands to gently mix everything together, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
- Place each patty onto a platter or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Make the Burger Sauce
- Place the mayonnaise, relish, chili sauce, grated onion, white wine vinegar, and sugar into a small bowl.
- Stir the ingredients together until completely smooth.
- Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of coarse black pepper.
Grill the Burgers
- Heat an outdoor grill, indoor grill pan, griddle, or cast-iron skillet to high heat.
- Right before grilling, generously season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper. (Salting right before cooking ensures a juicy burger).
- When the grill or pan is smoking hot, place the burgers onto the heat.
- Do not move the burgers until they are ready to release from the heat, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Slide your spatula under the burger; if it sticks, give it a bit longer.
- Flip the burgers and cook on the second side for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cook to an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare, or test doneness by pressing the center to see if it bounces back.
- Transfer the burgers to a platter, top with cheese, and let them rest while the cheese melts.
Toast and Assemble
- Reduce the grill heat to medium-low.
- Brush the inside of each brioche bun with the softened butter.
- Place the buns, butter-side-down, onto the grill and toast until just golden.
- Place the rested burgers onto the bottom buns.
- Generously slather the patties with the house-made burger sauce.
- Crown the burger with the top bun and serve immediately with your favorite extra toppings.
