Ingredients
Method
The Brisket Grind
- Place the shaft, blade, and knife of a food grinder (or stand mixer attachment) into the freezer to chill.
- Cut the raw beef brisket into 1-inch pieces.
- Lay the pieces onto a rimmed baking tray and place into the freezer until the meat is firm but not fully frozen, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the chilled meat from the freezer and toss evenly with the olive oil.
- Assemble the chilled meat grinder attachment.
- Push 2 to 3 pieces of meat at a time through the machine into a large mixing bowl.
- Once all of the meat has been ground, run it entirely through the machine a second time for a perfectly tender crumb.
- Season the ground brisket by gently folding in the Worcestershire sauce and minced garlic.
- Form the meat into 8 equal-sized patties, cover, and refrigerate until you are ready to grill.
The Signature Sauce
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, ketchup, grated onion, white wine vinegar, and granulated sugar.
- Season the sauce with the kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
- Whisk everything together until perfectly smooth and emulsified, then refrigerate to let the flavors marry.
The Grill & Build
- Heat your grill over medium-high heat.
- Just before grilling, generously season both sides of the burger patties with the kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
- Grill the burgers on one side for 4 to 5 minutes, achieving a deep, caramelized crust.
- Flip the burgers and cook on the other side until your desired degree of doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes more for medium-rare.
- During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese onto each burger to melt.
- Brush the inside of the sliced buns with the melted butter.
- Lay the buns directly onto the grill grates and toast for 30 to 45 seconds until golden.
- Place the toasted buns onto a platter and lay a hot, cheesy burger patty onto each bottom bun.
- Slather the top bun with a heavy layer of the signature burger sauce.
- Layer with the sliced tomatoes, onions, avocado, and dill pickle chips before serving immediately
