Instructions
  1. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on high.
  2. Put the beef in a bowl and sprinkle generously with pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly (I use my hands). Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into balls. Make a deep depression into the top of a ball and press 1 tablespoon of the cheese into it. Press the beef around the cheese to enclose it and pat the ball into a patty. Repeat to make 3 more stuffed patties. Right before cooking, season the patties lightly with salt.
  3. Coat the grill grates with a thin film of oil. Grill the burgers on one side until seared, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and sear on the other side until nicely charred on the outside and juicy and medium-rare to medium inside, 4 to 5 minutes more. A minute or two before the burgers are done, place the buns, cut side down, on the grill to lightly char them.
  4. Place the burgers on the bottom half of the buns and top each with a tablespoon (or more) of the jam. Top with the upper half of the buns and serve.
