How to make it
- Gently combine the ground chuck and ground sirloin in a bowl with the steak rub and Worcestershire sauce, mixing just until blended without overworking the meat.
- Divide the meat into four equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly wider than the buns, pressing a shallow dimple into the centre of each to keep them from doming as they cook.
- Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper, then brush them lightly with olive oil and let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Heat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, then cook the patties for about 4 minutes on the first side without pressing them.
- Flip the patties and cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes, laying a slice of cheese on each for the final minute, until the cheese melts and the burgers reach at least 71 C (160 F) in the centre for safety.
- Toast the cut sides of the buns on the grill for the last minute, then rest the patties for 2 minutes, build each burger on a bun and add your favourite toppings before serving.
