Philadelphia Cheeseburger Food

PHILLY BURGER

Steps:

• Bobby's Perfect Patty
• Shape 6 ounces of 80 percent lean ground beef chuck into a uniform patty, no more than 3/4 inch thick (don't overwork the meat). Make a depression in the center with your thumb so the burger won't bulge; the indent will rise as the patty cooks. Preheat a grill or cast-iron grill pan to high. Brush the burger with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, turning once (7 minutes for medium-rare). Avoid pressing with a spatula! Add cheese for the last minute of cooking.
• Provolone
• Oozy cheese makes this burger: Two slices of aged provolone are added during the last minute of grilling.
• Hot Peppers
• Bobby likes his Philly cheesesteaks with lots of pickled hot peppers, so he loads them on here, too.
• Roasted Peppers
• In place of classic griddled bell peppers, Bobby uses roasted red peppers, sliced into strips.
• Onions
• Bobby sautes thin rings of Spanish onion in canola oil until soft and golden to top off the burger.

PHILADELPHIA CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Julienne onion and green bell pepper and allow to marinate in lager for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
• In a blender or food processor add mayonnaise, habanero pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Blend until smooth for spicy mayo.
• Meanwhile, form ground chuck into 4 patties. (Each patty should be 1/2 pound.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat using a griddle or grill. (For a medium burger, cook 4 minutes per side.) Transfer to a plate.
• Add onions and bell peppers to hot griddle or grill and cook until cooked through, 3 minutes.
• Toast buns until browned.
• Put a spoon of spicy mayo on each bun. Add lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and grilled bell peppers. Top with patties, then add 1/4 cup Monterrey Jack to each.
