Ingredients:

For Burgers:
1 1/3 pounds ground sirloin or chuck
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 thin slices pancetta
Four 3/4-inch-thick slices Gorgonzola cheese (4 ounces)

For Buns:
4 hamburger buns or kaiser rolls, split
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Romaine lettuce leaves
tomato slices and paper-thin sweet onion slices

METHOD:

FOR BURGERS:
Light a grill. Shape the meat into 4 patties using Burger Mate and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Wrap each hamburger with 2 slices of pancetta. Grill the burgers over a medium-hot fire for about 4 minutes, or until nicely browned on the bottom. Flip the burgers and top them with the Gorgonzola. Grill for about 4 minutes longer, or until nicely browned and cooked through.

FOR BUNS:
Meanwhile, brush the cut sides of the buns with the butter and grill them, cut side down, until lightly toasted.

TO SERVE:
Set the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with the lettuce, tomato and onion. Serve at once.
