Instructions: Shape meat into 4 large burgers. Punch out quarter-size hole in middle of each burger and reshape into rounds as necessary.

To pan-sear, heat heavy, unlined skillet until almost smoking hot. Sprinkle pan lightly with salt and add as many burgers as pan will comfortably hold. Sear about 3 minutes. Turn and sear other side until browned, about 3 minutes more on high. Turn heat down and continue cooking until meat is no longer pink inside.

While burgers are piping hot, sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese. Serve immediately
