Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 pound ground NY strip steak; 1 pound 80/20 ground beef; 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 2 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper; 1 pound bacon; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped; 2 jalapeños, finely chopped (leave the seeds in for extra spice); 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 cup sherry wine; 1 cup light brown sugar; 2 tablespoons molasses; 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar; 1 tablespoon canola oil; 6 hamburger buns; Beer Cheese, recipe follows; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 2/3 cup lager beer; 3/4 cup whole milk; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika; Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper; 8 ounces sharp Cheddar, freshly grated

Directions

Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Combine the ground steak and beef together in a bowl until well mixed. Form 6 patties, then sprinkle both sides with the salt and 2 teaspoons of the pepper. Let come to room temperature or refrigerate until ready to cook.
For the jam, render the bacon in a saute pan over medium-low heat until crispy. Remove from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate and discard the bacon fat, leaving just 1 tablespoon in the pan. Place the cooked bacon into a food processor and pulse until the bacon is in coarse pieces. To the same pan, add the onions, bell peppers and jalapeños and saute until softened and lightly caramelized, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Deglaze with the wine, cooking until fully evaporated, then add the brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup water. Simmer until thickened and syrupy, 4 to 5 minutes. The jam should be spreadable and slowly fall off a spoon. Allow to cool slightly while the burgers cook.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then cook the patties 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the desired doneness.
To assemble, spread the bacon jam on the bun tops. Place the burger patties on the bun bottoms, then a ladle full of Beer Cheese.

Beer Cheese:

Yield: 2 cups

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk it together until a thick paste has formed, about 1 minute. Pour in the beer and continuously whisk so there are no lumps. Cook the mixture to allow the alcohol to cook out from the sauce, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the whole milk, Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper and whisk until everything is fully incorporated. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese in batches, making sure all of the cheese has fully melted.
