Preparation

1. Step 1

   0:04
   Season the ground chuck and ground brisket, combine them, and bind together with a touch of egg. Form into patties and refrigerate the day before so they stay firm and do not fall apart on the grill.
2. Step 2

   0:46
   Keep the formed burger patties in the fridge until ready to cook so they remain ice cold; this prevents them from becoming dry on the outside and raw in the middle.
3. Step 3

   0:54
   Get the grill piping hot. Season the cold patties with salt and pepper, including rolling the seasoning around the edges. Drizzle a little grape seed oil on the patties and mop up any loose seasoning.
4. Step 4

   1:19
   Place the patties on the hottest spot of the grill (normally 2/3 of the way up). Move them as little as possible to avoid breaking. Close the lid to incorporate heat and get a great sear so they do not stick.
5. Step 5

   2:02
   Drizzle the burger buns with a little oil, season with salt and pepper, and toast both sides on the grill until crisp to prevent a soggy bun.
6. Step 6

   2:32
   While the burgers cook, prepare the toppings. Peel and slice the onions, season them with salt and pepper, and keep them whole to prevent breaking up. Place on the grill to cook.
7. Step 7

   3:15
   Continue grilling the onions with the lid down until caramelized.
8. Step 8

   4:13
   After the first side has cooked for 3.5 to 4 minutes, flip the burgers. Brush lightly with butter 2 minutes before they come off to caramelize with the flame underneath.
9. Step 9

   5:14
   Flip the burgers again and cook the second side for 3.5 to 4 minutes. Lightly season again from a distance before removing from the grill.
10. Step 10

    6:04
    About 30 seconds before the burgers come off the grill, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty.
11. Step 11

    6:24
    Remove the toasted buns, burgers, and onions from the grill. Assemble by spreading light mustard mayonnaise on the bottom and top buns. Place snapped and shaped lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by a seasoned slice of tomato, more mayonnaise, the cheese-topped burger patty, and a generous amount of grilled onions. Top with the other bun half.
