Mr. Séguin's Burger

Today, I'm showing you how to make a completely decadent recipe, Mr. Seguin's burger! What is Mr. Seguin's burger? It's a really solid burger, stuffed with goat cheese and apples!

Here's how to make this fiery burger:

Required tool:

• The BBQ Stuffer Quebec

Ingredients (for 1 burger):

• Less than ½ lb of medium-lean ground meat

• 1 brioche burger bun

• ½ Quebec apple

• 100 g (approximately) goat cheese

• Mint leaves, to taste (don't overdo it)

• Steven Raichlen Malabar Steak Dry Marinade , to taste

Preparation :

1. Preheat the BBQ to 500°F by turning on both end burners to maximum and turning off the center burner to create an indirect heat zone and the infrared burner (if there is one on the BBQ).

2. Cut the ½ apple into small cubes*.

3. Thinly slice a few mint leaves.

4. Cut the goat cheese into pieces**.

5. Place ground meat in the Stuffing Machine, then form a nice patty with a hole in the middle by molding the meat using the domed lid.

6. Add the apple pieces, a few mint leaves and, finally, the pieces of goat cheese into the hole in the meat patty.

7. Using your hands, create a flat patty of meat. Place the flat patty on top of the hole and form the burger patty using the flat side of the lid. (“Close” the Stuffer by placing the flat side of the lid on top of the patty and press down on the top while rotating the Stuffer to form the patty.) Unmold the stuffed patty.

8. Season the pancake on each side (including the edge) with the Steak de malabar dry marinade.

9. Sear the patty on the infrared burner grate (if there is one) or on the BBQ grill in the direct heat zone (if the BBQ does not have an infrared burner) until the patty releases easily before turning it over to sear it on the other side. When the patty has a nice crust and is nicely caramelized on both sides, move it to the indirect heat zone*** and cook slowly but surely until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.

10. When the meatball is ready, add the buns to the main grill of the BBQ and grill them quickly on each side.

11. Assemble the burger, serve it and enjoy it!

* To prevent the apple pieces from oxidizing and turning black during preparation, add lemon.

**To prevent the cheese from crumbling, place it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

***It is also possible to sear the meatball on any type of gas BBQ burner.

Happy BBQ!
