Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Combine the sirloin and brisket in a food processor and pulse until ground. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the meat into a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, shallot, and wild game rub; gently mix. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Divide the meat into 4 equal portions; shape the "burgers" into hotdog shapes. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Place on preheated grill and close the lid. Cook for 4 minutes. Lift lid; flip burger dogs and close lid. (4 minutes)

06

Step

Lightly toast hot dog buns, then set aside. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Sear the burger dogs on all four sides for extra char flavor, about 2 1/2 minutes per side for medium, or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. During the final minute of grilling, top each burger dog with a slice of cheese. (12 minutes)

08

Step

Transfer burger dogs from the grill to a grill bun. Salt and pepper to taste; serve with your favorite condiments. (2 minutes)

For an extra smoky flavor, use wood chips like hickory or mesquite in your grill.
If you don't have wild game rub, you can substitute with a blend of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like provolone, pepper jack, or even a sharp cheddar for a bolder flavor.
Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding grilled peppers and onions, crispy fried onions, or a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce.
