  • Total 25 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 lb lean (at least 85%) ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons Montreal steak grill seasoning
  • 1 cup blue cheese crumbles (4 oz)
  • 8 diagonal slices (1 inch thick) French bread
  • 2 cups loosely packed baby salad greens

Steps

  • 1
    In 8-inch skillet, cook garlic in butter over low heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until garlic is tender. Stir in Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat.
  • 2
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix beef and grill seasoning. Shape mixture into 8 oval patties, 1/2 inch thick.
  • 3
    Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Remove from grill to platter; top with cheese. Place bread on grill. Cover; cook 2 to 4 minutes, turning once, until lightly toasted.
  • 4
    Spread one side of each toasted bread slice with butter mixture. Top bread slices with salad greens and burgers.

  • Shape the oval burgers slightly larger than the slices of French bread. They tend to shrink slightly as they cook.
  • Use your favorite small salad greens. Baby arugula or spinach provides a slightly bitter flavor that goes well with the grill flavor and blue cheese.
  • Grill seasonings are found with the other spices in the baking section of the grocery store. They are salt and pepper mixtures with other herbs and spices added.
