Makes 4 servings
Caesar Salad Beefburger on Garlic Crostini

Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1/4 cup freshly shaved or grated Parmesan cheese

    Garlic Crostini:

  • 8 slices sourdough bread (about 4 x 3 x 1/2-inch)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic, cut lengthwise into quarters
Preparation:
  • Combine ground beef, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties, shaping to fit the bread slices.
  • Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160° F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
  • Meanwhile brush both sides of bread slices lightly with oil. Place bread around outer edge of grid. Grill a few minutes until lightly toasted, turning once. Remove bread slices from grid; rub both sides of each slice with a garlic quarter.
  • Place one lettuce leaf on four of the bread slices; top each with a burger. Sprinkle evenly with cheese; cover with remaining bread slices. Cut burgers in half; arrange on lettuce-lined platter, if desired.
