Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
  • 1–1½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1 pound ground beef chuck
  • Olive oil

Procedure

  1. Combine mayonnaise and chipotle. Refrigerate until needed.

  3. Form meat into 4 equal patties, about ½ inch thick. Make an indentation in the center of each one and brush with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle patties on both sides with seasoning mixture. Set aside.
  5. Preheat a chimney starter full of charcoal in the bottom of a kettle grill. Once hot, disperse evenly around the bottom of the grill.
