Ingredients

  • 1Poundground brisket
  • Kosher salt & pepper, outside of patties
  • 6 slices Pepper jack cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 6 Brioche rolls
  • Grilled Tequila Peach Slaw:
  • 4-5 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 stick butter, melted
  • 1 Cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 Cup honey
  • 1/4 Cup tequila anejo
  • 1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1/4 Cup red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 Cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill.
  • Slice up and skewer the peaches before brushing the melted butter over top.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, tequila and the honey.
  • Whisk together till smooth.
  • Bring to a simmer and let cook till slightly thickened, about 15 minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Grill your skewered peaches for just a few minutes.
  • Remove, chop up and add to the pineapple/tequila/honey syrup, gently toss.
  • Cover and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • While the peaches are soaking, prep the veggies for the slaw. Combine all the ingredients for the slaw together, including the soaked peaches.
  • Toss, cover and refridgerate while you get the burgers ready.
  • Prepare your meat into 1/3Poundpatties (6 all together) and press your thumb slightly in the middle of each patty to prevent puffing up while grilling.
  • Sprinkle the outside liberally with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Now with the grill ready to go once again, add the beef/brisket patties and cook till desired doneness. *I prefer mine cooked about 5 minutes on the first side and then 3 minutes on the other, flip just once please ;).
  • Once you’ve flipped your burger, add the pepperjack cheese to each patty.
  • Cheese NEEDS to be melty-good here folks!
  • *I also like to split my brioche buns, lightly spread mayonnaise on each cut side and place on the grill for a minute or two.
  • The mayo will caramelize over the flame leading to a nice crunch and less soggy burger!
  • Serve warm, with a big scoop of the peach slaw over top!
  • Bun, burger, slaw, bun!
  • Delish!
