Instructions

Heat the gas grill to medium-high. In a large non-stick skillet on the heated grill, melt your butter. Then add diced sweet onion and sugar to the skillet and sauté until soft and golden brown. Add cayenne pepper; remove skillet from grill and set aside to keep Spicy Onion Relish warm. In a small bowl, stir together your mayonnaise, gorgonzola, and basil. Cover and store in a cool place. Mix your sirloin and ground chuck in a large bowl with the diced peach, minced shallots, cumin, salt, pepper. Mix together with your hands until just combined. Form 6 equal patties. Brush your grill rack with vegetable oil. Put your burgers on the grill, flipping once after 4 minutes. Cook for another 5-6 minutes for medium doneness. A couple minutes before the burgers are ready, brush your sweet onion rolls with olive oil and put on the grill to toast lightly. When everything is ready, assemble burgers – place a generous amount of mayonnaise on the cut sides of each roll, add your cooked patties and top with Spicy Onion Relish. Enjoy!
