Step 1
Combine the chuck, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, garlic, and salt in a large bowl, handling as little as possible. Shape into 2 patties to fit the bun size. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside.For the fennel:Grate 1/2 teaspoons zest from the lemons.
Step 2
Put the fennel rings in a medium-sized bowl (I used half a fennel bulb) and juice the lemon over half the fennel and toss to coat all the fennel rings.
Step 3
Add oil and season with salt.
Step 4
Put the fennel in a grill basket and grill, shaking the basket occasionally, until soft, 10 to 12 minutes. (I did this on the stove top)
Step 5
Transfer the fennel to a sheet of foil, sprinkle with the lemon zest, and wrap to keep warm.
Step 6
Heat a large, heavy nonstick fire-proof skillet on the grill.
Step 7
Add the bacon and cook until crisp.
Step 1
Drain off the bacon fat from the skillet, wipe out the skillet with paper towels, and set the skillet back on the grill.
Step 2
Add the walnuts to the skillet and toast until golden and fragrant; set aside.
Step 3
Whisk the vinegar with the oil in a small bowl and season with salt, to taste.
Step 4
Combine the figs, arugula, and toasted walnuts in a medium bowl. Toss with just enough dressing to coat. (I like a tart vinaigrette so I use a 1:1 ratio for the oil and vinegar)When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil.
Step 5
Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium.
Step 6
Place the cheese slices on the patties during the last 3 minutes of grilling.
Step 7
Place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly during the last 2 minutes of grilling.To assemble the burgers, place equal portions of the warm grilled fennel on each bun bottom, followed by a cheese-topped patty, 2 bacon slices, and an equal portion of the fig-arugula topping. (I would use a lot of the fig topping)
Step 8
Add the bun tops and serve.
