Grilled Italian Burgers

Ingredients:

• Vegetable oil to grease the grill grate
• 700 g of ground beef
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
• 1 clove of garlic, grated
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns, cut in half horizontally
• Fresh basil leaves, for assembly
• Giardiniera, for serving

Preparation:

1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, carefully combine the ground beef, oregano, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
2. Form the meat mixture into four patties, each weighing 170 grams and approximately 12 cm in diameter. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your finger and lightly sprinkle the outside with salt and black pepper. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill the patties to your desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium, adding a slice of cheese to each patty about 1 minute before they're done.
3. Mix mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Briefly toast the buns on the grill for about 1 minute, then brush with a little mayonnaise. Top with a patty and a few fresh basil leaves. Serve the burgers with giardiniera.
