Instructions
- Prepare a grill fire to about 300°F using hickory or oak wood for smoke.
- Combine the brown sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and dry mustard to make the steak rub.
- Mix the seasoning blend into the ground beef and form into 8 patties, creating an indentation in the center of each.

Ensure the grill is preheated properly for even cooking and smokiness.
Consider adding cheese during the last minute of cooking for a melted topping.
