Where do I even begin with the grilled pastrami burger with spicy brown mustard mayo?  This burger has so much going on.  Each bite is filled with a punch of flavors!

I love layering flavors into food especially the grilled pastrami burger with spicy brown mustard mayo.

The great thing about making burgers, is you can make it your way.  Top it with anything you like.  Be sure to use good grass fed beef that is 80% beef and 20% fat.  The fat in the meat creates moisture.  All a great burger patty needs is salt and pepper.  But sometimes I like to kick it up a notch.  I’m using a bit of fresh parsley, bbq sauce, shallots, thin sliced garlic, salt and pepper.

Gently, every so gently mix the burger ingredients with a fork.  If you mix it with your hands and squish it through your fingers, you will end up with a texture that resembles meat loaf.

Form 4 quarter pound patties and make a slight indention in the middle of each patty.  This will help prevent the burger from shrinking so much.  If you want to push the burger over-the-top, make homemade my Brioche Burger Buns

Pick your favorite burger toppings.  For a pastrami burger I love crunchy spicy pickles, tart and spicy pepperoncini, pickled or grilled red onions, crisp onions, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and piles of pastrami.  Not to mention a smear of spicy brown mustard and mayo.  Heaven!  One of my favorite BBQ sauces is from this post:  Apricot Ginger Beer Glazed Ribs

Just try to get your mouth around this baby!
