Method

  1. 1Mix the beef gently with 2 tablespoons of the steak sauce, the salt and pepper. Shape into four patties about ¾ inch thick and press a dimple into the middle of each.
  2. 2Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes, turn them and brush with the rest of the steak sauce.
  3. 3Cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until they reach 160°F. Add the cheese for the last minute and cover so it melts.
  4. 4Toast the buns and build the burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion and more steak sauce.

  • Fruit and tang

    Raisins, tamarind or dates give it body. Vinegar gives it bite.

  • American or British

    American steak sauce is smoother and sweeter. Brown sauce is spicier and fruitier.

  • Not too sweet

    If sugar is the first ingredient, it'll taste more like barbecue sauce.
