Combine ground beef with Worchestershire, onion, garlic and salt. Avoid working the meat too much. Mix gently and as little as possible. Form 8 thin patties. Divide cheese by 4 and distribute evenly on center of patties. Top with remaining patties and pinch edges well to seal. Brush with a little oil or a quick spritz of cooking spray.

Meanwhile, pre-heat the Qookingtable on 5. When reached (orange light off) set dial to # 9. When reached, place burgers on the teppan surface, oiled side down, with min. 1 inch room in between.

Slice buns in half and arrange on the teppan surrounding the patties. Optional: butter the buns before toasting, or brush with a little olive oil. When nicely browned (check frequently), push bread into the outer warming area to avoid burning. Cook meat for about 2 minutes on one side until it releases, flip, and grill the other side 2 minutes more. Lower temperature to # 7.

Cook another 2-3 minutes, flip again and cook until done to personal preference. Switch off the teppanyaki. Let patties sit for a couple of minutes before serving. Assemble burgers on bottom half of bun with tomatoes and lettuce. Add more favorite toppings and/or bbq sauce. Top with remaining bun. ENJOY!

TIP: The better the meat the better the flavor profile of your burger will turn out. If you can, please avoid standard frozen beef patties. They contain a lot of liquid and will splatter when cooked on the teppanyaki.
