01
Step 1
Fire up your grill to high and give the grates a quick brush with oil so nothing sticks. In a food processor, pulse together the sirloin and brisket until they’re nicely ground, then transfer the meat to a big bowl. Stir in the mayo, chopped shallot, and wild game rub gently so everything’s combined without overworking the meat.

Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each one into a hot dog shape. Place them on the hot grill and close the lid, letting them cook for about 4 minutes. Flip them over, close the lid again, and cook a bit more.

Step 3
While the burger dogs are grilling, toast your buns lightly right on the grill — just enough to give them a little crunch. Now, for some extra flavor, sear each burger dog on all sides for a couple of minutes until they get a nice char and reach about 140°F inside for medium doneness. During the last minute, pop a slice of cheese on top so it can melt perfectly.

Step 4
Once everything’s done, transfer the burger dogs into the toasted buns. Give them a little sprinkle of salt and pepper, then add your favorite toppings and condiments. Enjoy!
