Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/2 head napa cabbage, shredded
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper, minced
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ShaSha Sauce (below)
1/2 pound ground sirloin
1/2 pound ground brisket
1/2 pound ground boneless short rib (or use 1 1/2 pounds ground beef total, 75% to 80% lean)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound pastrami, thinly sliced
4 slices Swiss cheese, medium thick
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 brioche or egg buns, split
12 hot banana peppers from a jar, tops removed, chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 cup yellow mustard
1 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Prepare the slaw: In a medium bowl, mix together the cabbage, garlic, onion, jalapeno, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, Worcestershire sauce and ShaSha Sauce. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Make the burgers: Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. On a work surface, combine the meats and form the burgers into 4 equal-size patties. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the burgers over high heat until medium rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Place 4 heaping piles of pastrami in the pan. After 2 minutes, top each pile with a slice of Swiss cheese. Remove them when the cheese is melted; set aside.
  • Pour the butter into the pan. Place the buns in the pan, cut-side down, and toast, about 2 minutes.
  • Place a heaping tablespoonful of the slaw on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a burger and a mound of pastrami and cheese. Cover each with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
  • In a food processor, puree the peppers, garlic, mustard and vinegar.
  • Pour the puree into a nonreactive saucepan, then add the sugar and bring it to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl or juice glass, mix the flour and 1/2 cup water to make a smooth paste. Whisk it into the pepper mixture and continue to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly, until it becomes very thick. Let the sauce cool, then pour it into a covered nonreactive container (such as a glass jar). The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.

FAT DOUG BURGER



Fat Doug Burger image

This is the burger that made B Spot famous! I named it after my partner, Doug Petkovic, who ironically is quite svelte. But who the heck would order a Skinny Doug? This was our first "meat-on-meat" style hamburger, a concept that proves that everything is better topped with meat - even meat! Turns out we aren't the only ones who think so as the burger took top honors at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival's Burger Bash. Once you try this pastrami-topped burger, we think you'll agree too. But don't stop there. Let your imagination go wild and you'll see that there isn't a meat that doesn't go great on a burger!

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard*
1 tablespoon spicy mustard*
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, sliced thin
3/4 head napa cabbage, shredded
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
8 ounces ground sirloin
8 ounces ground brisket
8 ounces ground boneless short rib
Salt
8 ounces pastrami, sliced thin*
4 slices Swiss cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 brioche or sesame seed buns

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: You can substitute 1 1/2 pounds ground beef for the sirloin, brisket and short rib mix.
  • For the coleslaw: Mix together the vinegar, mayonnaise, mustards, sugar, Worcestershire, salt, garlic, jalapenos, cabbage and onions. Set aside or refrigerate to let the flavors meld, preferably for 1 hour.
  • For the burgers: Preheat the grill to high heat. Mix together the brisket, short rib and sirloin to combine well and form into 4 equal patties. Sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt. Grill the patties over high heat until medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Divide the pastrami into 4 small piles. Warm the pastrami piles in a saute pan over medium heat. After 2 minutes, top each pile with a slice of Swiss cheese. When the cheese has melted, remove the pastrami from the pan and set aside.
  • Brush the cut sides of the buns with the butter and toast, cut-side down, in a pan or on the grill.
  • To serve, place a burger on the bottom bun, top with the pastrami with cheese, a heaping spoonful of the slaw, and finish with the top bun.
