Ingredients
- 3 lbs ground chuck
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tsp harissa
- 2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 large red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 6-inch oval rolls, split
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- tomato and cucumber slices
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently mix the ground chuck with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of the harissa, the cumin, garlic powder and thyme. Form the meat into eight 3/4-inch-thick oval patties.
In a medium bowl, toss the onion slices with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan. Cook the onions over moderate heat, turning once, until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Grill the burgers over moderately high heat, turning once, until medium, about 8 minutes.
Grill the rolls until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the caraway (I ground the seeds using a mortar and pestle) and the remaining 2 tablespoons of harissa; season with salt and pepper.
Spread the mayo on the rolls. Top with the patties, onions, tomato and cucumber; close the sandwiches and serve.
