Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium. Add onion; saute 4 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a medium bowl, season with Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon mustard, salt and half the pepper. Add sirloin; mix gently to combine. Divide into four 4 1/2-inch patties.

Heat a grill pan over medium. Spray lightly with cooking spray and grill burgers 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through.

While burgers are cooking, mash blue cheese with the back of a fork in a small dish. Stir in buttermilk, mayonnaise, remaining 1/2 teaspoon mustard, sugar, and remaining pepper.

Arrange burgers on bun bottoms; top with sliced tomato and red onion. Slather bun tops with the blue cheese sauce, place atop burgers, and serve immediately.
