Step 1
Preheat outdoor barbecue to medium hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square, blot some oil on it, and carefully and quickly wipe the grates to make a non-stick surface. Season 2 pounds of brisket (ground twice) in a bowl with some salt and pepper. Give it about 3 turns in the bowl with your hands or a big spoon.
Step 2
Shape ground beef into 8 patties.
Step 3
Once the grill is hot, put the patties on and cook, around 7 minutes per side for rare burgers, and 8 minutes per side for medium burgers.
Step 4
During the final minute of cooking, throw a slice of Swiss cheese on desired burgers.
Step 5
Toast the buns cut side down for about 1 minute, just to mark them.Prepare toppings, as desired. Tomatoes with Sea Salt and Chives: Thickly slice 2 pounds heirloom tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and bunch chopped fresh chives.Bacon with Rosemary: Lay out pound sliced bacon on a baking sheet, strip leaves from 1 sprig rosemary and throw them on top with lots of cracked black pepper and roast at 400 degrees F until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Herbed Horseradish Mayonnaise:Stir together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, cup freshly minced herbs such as parsley, basil, chives or scallion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, a little squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
