• 1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef sirloin

• Salt

• 2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons chili powder

• 1 red onion, cut into 6 wedges

• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon steak seasoning (about a palmful)

• 1 tablespoon ground coriander (about a palmful)

• 1 tablespoon ground cumin (about a palmful)

• 4 kaiser rolls, preferably cornmealcrusted, split and toasted

• Juice of 1 lime plus 1 teaspoon grated peel

• 1/2 cup beer

• 8 deli slices pepper jack cheese

• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro (a generous handful)

• Shredded romaine lettuce

Directions

1. In a big bowl, combine the beef, beer, garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Mold into 4 patties.
2. Be sure to preheat your outdoor cooker/grill. If using a broiler, halve and seed the tomatoes and jalapenos before broiling. On a rimmed baking sheet, broil the tomatoes, jalapenos and red onion, turning once, until charred, about 15 minutes. If using an outdoor grill, char the vegetables for 10 minutes; halve and seed the tomatoes and jalapenos.
3. Chop the charred veggies; transfer to a bowl. Add the cilantro, lime juice and lime peel; season the pico de gallo with salt.
4. In the broiler or on the grill, cook the burgers over medium-high heat for 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, melting the cheese over each burger during the last few minutes of cooking.
5. To serve, layer each roll bottom with lettuce, a burger, some pico de gallo and a roll top.
6. let cool, and enjoy your Gaucho Burgers.
