- 1 teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup mixed chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, mint, and oregano)
- 6 hamburger buns, toasted

Directions
- Light a charcoal grill or preheat gas grill to 350 to 400 degrees F (medium-high). Combine the sirloin, chuck, salt, and pepper gently; stir in the herbs. Shape the mixture into six 5-inch patties; let stand 10 minutes.
