Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons wine, mustard, parsley, basil and pepper.
Add the ground sirloin and chuck and mix together well with your hands. If the mixture seems too dry, add the last 1 or 2 tablespoons of wine. Divide the meat and form into 6 – 8 patties.
Season both sides well with salt and pepper, then sear quickly over high heat, 375 – 400 F.
Move to a cooler spot on the grill and cook over medium high, 325 – 350 F, for 4 -5 minutes per side.
Add a glaze of barbeque sauce after they’ve been turned, if desired. Add the blue cheese during the last minute of cooking until it just begins to melt.
