Burgers w/ Avocado Relish

I mentioned posting recipes for the last meal I prepared on my Big Green Egg, so what better time than now... while I have a 10lb pork butt cooking on the BGE and nothing else to worry about.



The Buns:
-1 cup Water
-2 tbsp Butter
-1 large Egg
-3 1/4 cups A.P. Flour
-1/4 cup Tourbinado Sugar
-1 tsp Salt
-1 tbsp Instant Yeast
-1 tsp Meat Church Honey Hog Rub

Combine all the ingredients and mix then knead them together; by hand or mixer. I prefer hand, myself. Knead until dough is soft and smooth. Place in lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour.

Divide dough into desidered number or buns, this usually makes 6-8. Shape each piece into a flattended ball. Place the buns on greased baking sheets, cover and let rise 30-45 minutes, until puffy.

Preheat oven to 375F. Bake buns for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.  Remove from oven, cook, split, butter then toast up on your grill if in the mood.




The Burgers:

-2lbs Prime Aged Beef, ground up.  80/20 on Fat Content, nothing less will do. -2tsp New Mexican Chili Pepper, ground
-Salt, to taste
-Malabar Pepper or Course Black, to taste.
-Sliced Gouda Cheese, 1 slice per burger made.

Form your patties to desired shape and size.
Season with salt, pepper and chili pepper.


I grilled my on the Big Green Egg at 550.
I cooked the burgers for 3.5 minutes each side, for medium rare. Place the cheese on for the final 1-2 minutes.

The "Relish:"
It is the Avocado BLT Salsa recipe from the Big Green Egg Cook Book.
