Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups boiling water
2/3 cup sun-dried tomato
4 pounds beef chuck or ground chuck
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
8 slices Havarti cheese
8 leaves Romaine lettuce
8 slices red onions
8 French bread rolls
------------------------------
Basil Pesto Mayonnaise:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons basil pesto

Steps:

Pour about 2 cups boiling water over the dried tomatoes to reconstitute. Cover and soak until the tomatoes are soft, about 30 minutes. Drain off the remaining water, reserving 2 tablespoons of the tomato "liquor," and chop tomatoes. If using beef chuck roast, cut meat into 1-inch strips. Grind in a meat grinder using the biggest hole grinder plate (3/8-inch). Preheat a grill. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chuck or ground beef, basil, garlic, reconstituted tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sun-dried tomato liquor. Combine well and grind, using the smallest hole on the grinder plate, and form into 8 patties. Grill over hot coals to desired doneness and serve with sliced Havarti cheese, Basil Pesto Mayonnaise, lettuce, onion slices, and crusty French rolls. Basil Pesto Mayonnaise: Combine mayonnaise and pesto well.
