1 pound ground lamb
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, toasted and crushed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola
1 small red onion, halved, peeled and thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, halved, seeded and thinly sliced

1
Create a flat-top cooking surface on a gas grill by using a couple of large cast-iron skillets, or a thick metal sheet like a Baking Steel, or soapstone cooking tiles.
2
Light the grill, and set the burners to medium.
3
Lower top of grill, and allow it heat.
4
Gently combine the lamb, cumin, Sichuan peppercorns, chile flakes and salt in a large bowl, then form into four equal-size balls.
5
Raise the lid of your grill, add the oil to the cooking surface and use a spatula to coat it, then place the onions and jalapenos on the surface, and fry them until lightly browned but still crunchy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
6
Separate the vegetables into four piles with a good amount of space between them.
7
(If using two pans, each pan should contain two piles.)
8
Top each pile with one of the balls of meat.
9
Use the spatula to smash the balls into flat patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
10
Cook until the bottom of each patty is well browned and the meat is opaque about halfway to the top, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
11
Flip each patty, and cook through, approximately 3 minutes for medium.
12
Place patties on buns, and top each one with cilantro leaves.
