Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chuck
• ½ tsp mesquite smoke powder
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Salt
• Freshly-ground black pepper
• 2 tsp light molasses
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Procedure

1. Preheat grill to 500–575°F.
2. Combine garlic, smoke powder, and 4 heavy pinches each of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
