Yield
makes 6

Ingredients

3 pounds lean ground chuck

1 tablespoon each finely chopped fresh thyme, oregano, rosemary, and flat-leaf parsley

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

3 large tomatoes, thickly sliced

2 large onions, thickly sliced

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

5 ounces fresh goat cheese, sliced into 6 equal portions

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

1 head red or white endive, thinly sliced crosswise

Preparation

Step 1
Heat the grill to medium. In a large bowl, place the ground chuck and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until combined. Form into 6 patties; set aside.
Step 2
Brush the tomato and onion slices with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the tomato and onion slices until slightly charred on both sides (onion should be tender), 4 to 6 minutes for tomatoes and 6 to 8 minutes for onions. Remove from the grill, and keep warm.
Step 3
Grill the hamburger patties, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. When they have reached desired doneness, place cheese on top of each patty. Grill until the cheese is slightly melted.
Step 4
To serve, stack slices of onion and tomato on a serving platter with romaine and endive. Place the hamburgers on top.
