Ingredients

• 10 ounces sirloin steak tips
• 10 ounces beef brisket, trimmed of fat, cut into small chunks
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1/4 cup wild game rub (see footnote)
• 4 whole wheat hot dog buns
• 4 slices white Cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Condiments:
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomatoes
• Chopped onion
• Relish

Instructions

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2. Combine the sirloin and brisket in a food processor and pulse until ground.
3. Transfer the meat into a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, shallot, and wild game rub; gently mix.
4. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions; shape the "burgers" into hotdog shapes.
5. Place on preheated grill and close the lid. Cook for 4 minutes. Lift lid; flip burger dogs and close lid.
6. Lightly toast hot dog buns, then set aside.
7. 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.
8. Transfer burger dogs from the grill to a grill bun. Salt and pepper to taste; serve with your favorite condiments.
