Bobby's Philly Burgers

This is our version of Bobby Flay's Philly Burgers. We made these for Becky's birthday dinner tonight.



Bobby's Philly Burgers

1 1/2 Ib (80/20) ground beef
Canola oil
Salt
Pepper
8 slices provolone cheese
1 red bell pepper
1 green pepper
1 Onion (Bobby suggests a Spanish onion, I used white cause I didn't know what a Spanish onion is and you know, it's not like Waldemort ever has anything out of ordinary...)
Sliced peperoncini peppers
Hamburger buns

Divide hamburger into 4 equal portions and gently shape into patties, 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. Heat the grill to high. Brush the burgers 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 the last minute of grilling and close the lid so the cheese melts.

Meanwhile, slice the peppers into thin slices and slice the onion into rings. Saute the peppers and onions in a little oil until soft and delicious.

Top burgers with peperoncini (to taste) and peppers and onions and of course the bun!


Thanks Bobby Flay!
