Ingredients

Total preparation and cooking time 30 minutes

1 pound ground beef (95 percent lean)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Salt and pepper
4 romaine lettuce leaves
1/4 cup freshly shaved or grated Parmesan cheese

For the Garlic Crostini:
8 slices sourdough bread (about 4-by-3-by-1/2-inch)
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, cut lengthwise into quarters

Directions

Combine ground beef, minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 11 to 13 minutes to medium (160 F.) doneness, until not pink in center and juices aren't pink, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, brush both sides of bread slices lightly with oil. Place bread around outer edge of grid. Grill a few minutes until lightly toasted, turning once. Remove bread slices from grid. Rub both sides of each slice with a garlic quarter. Place one lettuce leaf on four of the bread slices; top each with a burger. Sprinkle evenly with cheese; cover with remaining bread slices. Cut burgers in half, if desired. Serves 4.
