Instructions

Preheat a gas grill to high heat on one side and medium-high heat on the other. Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and add shallots, white wine and tarragon. Boil until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Transfer the mixture to a blender and set aside to cool. Add anchovies, garlic, salt, pepper, mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Blend until thick and smooth; add the remaining 8 plus 3 tablespoons of butter and blend for 2 minutes more. Place in a bowl, cover and reserve. Put the beef through the fine blade of a meat grinder, add red wine, salt and pepper and mix well. Divide into 6 portions and shape each into a burger at least 1-inch thick and higher around the sides than in the middle. Brush the grill rack with oil and place the burgers on it, cover, and grill until browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the burgers and continue grilling until medium-rare or medium done, or preference, about 4 minutes longer. While burgers are cooking, arrange rolls, cut sides down, on medium-high heat and toast lightly. Spread cut sides of rolls with olive oil, add a burger to each bottom half, add a spoonful of sauce, a sprinkle of chopped parsley and the roll top. Serve at once.
