This sophisticated Napa Valley basil-smoked burger is a high-protein masterpiece that brings a touch of Californian elegance to your summer barbecue. By incorporating fragrant fresh basil and rich sun-dried tomatoes directly into the seasoned minced sirloin, every bite is infused with a deep, savoury Mediterranean flavour. The unique addition of Zinfandel provides a subtle fruitiness that perfectly complements the smoky aroma created by grilling over dampened basil leaves.

Ideal for garden parties or a weekend family treat, these homemade burgers are served with a creamy pesto mayonnaise and topped with melted Monterey Jack cheese. Using quality beef and fresh herbs makes this a wholesome choice for those seeking a satisfying, protein-rich meal. Serve these charred patties in toasted seeded rolls with crisp lettuce and vine-ripened tomatoes for the ultimate outdoor dining experience.

Ingredients for Napa Valley Basil-Smoked Burgers

900g ground sirloin
40g Zinfandel
1/4 cup lightly packed minced fresh basil
1/4 cup minced red onion
40g fresh Italian bread crumbs
8 sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic salt
Vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
8 large basil sprigs, moistened with water, for grilling
6 large seeded sandwich rolls, split
6 slices Monterey Jack cheese
6 red leaf lettuce leaves
6 (1/4-inch-thick) large tomato slices
6 paper-thin red onion slices, separated into rings
6 basil sprigs, for serving
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto

How to make Napa Valley Basil-Smoked Burgers

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
To make the mayonnaise, combine the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
To make the patties, combine the sirloin, Zinfandel, basil, onion, bread crumbs, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic salt in a large bowl. 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.
When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Toss the moistened basil sprigs directly onto the fire. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a cheese slice.
To assemble the burgers, spread the mayonnaise over the cut sides of the rolls. On each roll bottom, place a lettuce leaf, a patty, a tomato slice, an onion slice, and a basil sprig. Add the roll tops and serve.
