Welcome to the video and introduction to making steakhouse burgers.

Use 1 pound of ground beef, split into two balls for patties.

Form patties slightly larger than the bun size to account for shrinkage.

Press down on the beef gently to shape the patties without over-pressing.

Season patties with Mad Cow beef rub, or alternatively use salt, pepper, and garlic.

Set up the grill with 20 briquettes and let them heat to around 250-275 degrees.

Place the patties on the grill opposite the coals and add a piece of hickory wood for flavor.

Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the burgers and cook until they reach 140 degrees.

In a pan, add oil and 2 onions, along with 1/4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to caramelize the onions for about 20 minutes on low heat.

Monitor the burgers and move coals to the center for searing once they reach 140 degrees.

Cook bacon on the grill until crispy, flipping as needed.

Sear the burgers directly over the hot coals for 45 seconds on each side, then add cheese on top to melt.

Toast the buns over the hot coals for 10-15 seconds.

Prepare a barbecue mayo sauce with 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to taste.

Assemble the burger with barbecue mayo on the bottom bun, followed by the burger patty, bacon, caramelized onions, and sauce on the top bun.

Finish making the second burger and prepare for a taste test.
