Instructions

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To make coleslaw, in medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard (reserving 2 teaspoons for future use) and honey until creamed. Mix in cabbage until incorporated. Fold in tomato caviar, attempting not to separate or break seeds. Mix well and refrigerate until serving. To make cheese spread, place olive oil in a fireproof 12” skillet and heat over grill until warmed. Add 2/3 cup green onion (white & light green part) (reserving 2/3 cup (green part) for future use) and sauté over low-medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Deglaze pan with beef broth and wine. Add 1/2 teaspoon reserved mustard (reserving 1 1/2 teaspoons for future use), 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (reserving 1 teaspoon for future use) and 2 1/3 cups roughly chopped mushrooms (reserving 2/3 cup minced mushrooms for future use). Simmer mixture on low-medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until mixture is reduced by at least 1/2. Add goat cheese and stir until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and cover with foil to keep warm. Set aside on hot pad. To make patties, in a large mixing bowl, mix reserved 2/3 cup minced mushrooms, reserved 2/3 cup green onion (green part), reserved 1 1/2 teaspoons of mustard, steak sauce, salt and reserved 1 teaspoon ground pepper. Add ground chuck and, handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the rolls. To cook the patties, grease grill rack with vegetable oil and place patties on rack. Cover and grill 3-4 minutes on the first side. Turn the patties and continue grilling until done to preference, about 5 minutes longer for medium. When patties are almost done, place rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly. To assemble burgers, spread the coleslaw equally on the bottom half of each roll, about 1/2 cup. Place patties on top of coleslaw. Spread cut side of roll tops with equal amounts of cheese spread, about 1/4 cup. Add the roll tops to the patties and serve. Makes 6 burgers.
