Method

Set up grill for direct grilling and preheat coals to high. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix sirloin, pork, green onions, apple, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, bacon and bread crumbs. In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs; add stir-fry sauce, hickory seasoning, garlic salt, pepper and wine. Mix small bowl ingredients into those in large bowl. When ready to grill, brush and oil grill grate. Loosely form meat mixture into 6 burgers. Grill burgers on grate, about 7 minutes per side, rotating 90 degrees after 3 1/2 minutes. Spread an herb butter on all sides of rolls. Toast rolls on indirect heat, off to the side with buttered side down, about one minute, until golden brown. Serve burgers right off grill; do not put them aside to keep warm.

 

Notes: This is a great American burger because it conforms to the American method of cooking--simple yet elegant. It was created in Brookfield, WI, using a tasty collection of ingredients, enhanced with Cabernet Sauvignon. This burger looks great, because when grilled, it presents a tasty caramelized collection around the Wisconsin cheddar that forms between the grate pattern.
