South Philly Hamburger

Ingredients

1-1/2 - pounds ground chuck
1 - egg yolk
1/4 - cup grated onion
1 - large clove garlic minced
2 - teaspoons dried crushed basil
1/2 - teaspoon oregano
1/3 - teaspoon salt
1/4 - teaspoon pepper
2 - provolone slices
4 - hamburger buns

Directions

Prepare a medium fire in your grill.

While the grill is heating, mix the ground chuck, egg yolk, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.

Mix lightly, using your hands. (Remember wash your hands before and after handling the ground beef.)

Place the hamburger patties on an oiled grill grid.

Grill directly over the heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium.

Adjust your times for rare to well done.

Toast buns split side down on the edges of the grill grid until lightly brown.

Place provolone on top of each burger 2 minutes before burger is done.

Grill with cover down until the cheese melts.

Grill over medium-hot coals for a total of 12-15 minutes, turning to brown evenly.
