Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces beef chuck, coarsely ground
12 ounces beef sirloin, coarsely ground
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon lightly crushed coriander seed
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sliced roasted red peppers, for serving

Steps:

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, gently toss together the chuck and sirloin in a large bowl, making sure not to overwork the mixture.
Combine the paprika, coriander seed, garlic, brown sugar, crushed red pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef and fold gently to combine. Form the beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Place the patties in the hot skillet; do not press down with a spatula. When the patties are seared and browned on one side, flip and cook on the other side until browned, about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Assemble the burgers by topping with sliced roasted red peppers and using your favorite buns and condiments.
