Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces beef chuck, coarsely ground
12 ounces beef sirloin, coarsely ground
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1/2 cup crumbled feta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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, cumin, garlic, mint, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef; add the crumbled feta 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 using your favorite buns, toppings and condiments.
