Recipes
For the Griddle Melts:
- 1 pound Ground sirloin or chuck
- 6 slices Dark pumpernickel or marbled rye bread
- ½ teaspoon Dried granulated onion
- ½ teaspoon Dehydrated garlic powder
- Fine salt and freshly cracked black pepper to season
- 6 slices Sharp yellow aged cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Mild white Italian provolone cheese
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted cultured dairy butter, softened for spreading
For the Signature House Dressing:
- ¼ cup Creamy salad dressing mayonnaise base
- 2 tablespoons Crispy cured pork belly bits bacon pieces
- 3 tablespoons Tomato condiment ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Granulated cane sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Sweet pickled cucumber relish
Instructions
Part 1: Preparing the Beef and Dressing
-
Divide the one-pound portion of ground meat into three equal sections. Press and shape each section into a thin patty, ensuring the dimensions closely match your slices of bread.
-
Season both faces of the formed meat patties with the dehydrated onion, granulated garlic, fine salt, and black pepper.
-
In a small mixing vessel, thoroughly incorporate all components for the signature house dressing: the creamy salad dressing, cured pork belly bits, tomato condiment, cane sweetener, and cucumber relish. Set this mixture aside.
Part 2: Cooking and Assembly
-
Heat a heavy skillet or frying pan over a medium-high setting. Place the seasoned patties into the hot pan and cook until they are done to your liking. Once finished, remove the cooked meat from the skillet.
-
Clean the skillet used for the beef, wiping out any residual grease. Return the pan to the burner and decrease the heat to a medium setting.
-
Using the softened dairy, evenly coat one exterior face of all six bread slices.
-
Place three of the buttered bread slices into the skillet with the buttered side facing down.
-
On top of each bread slice in the pan, layer two slices of provolone cheese, followed by one cooked beef patty, and finally two slices of cheddar cheese.
-
Apply a small amount of the prepared signature sauce onto the unbuttered side of the three remaining bread slices.
-
Place these sauce-coated slices on top of the assembled sandwiches, with the dressing facing down toward the cheddar.
-
Allow the sandwich to cook until the bottom slice is perfectly toasted and golden. Once toasted, carefully turn the entire sandwich over using a sturdy spatula.
-
Continue to toast the second side until it achieves a crisp texture and all internal cheeses are completely melted and gooey. Serve the griddle-seared beef melts immediately.
