Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, form the ground brisket into two equal-sized patties. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, and sliced onion. Add any chosen enhancements like avocado, jalapeño, bacon, or a fried egg.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot.
