Cube 8 oz of chuck and 8 oz of sirloin into roughly 1-inch cubes and chill.

Put the cubed meat into a blender and pulse exactly 10 times to mince.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of coarse sea salt per pound of minced meat and mix well.

Form the meat into 5 oz patties using a scale to measure.

Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes.

Place the patties in the skillet, pressing down slightly to build a crust.

Set a timer for 4 minutes and flip the burgers once.

Prepare the buns by spreading mayonnaise and sprinkling coarse black pepper on them.

Rest the burgers on the buns to release juices and steam the buns slightly.

Make a burger sauce by mixing 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ketchup, and as much relish as desired.

Add the burger sauce to the assembled burger and serve.
