Grated onion and tomato juice provide moisture for extra-lean beef in this selection from Canadian Living's June issue story, "Our Very Best Burgers." Mustard and capers give it real zing. For anchovy lovers, mash in two anchovy fillets, rinsed to remove excess salt. Top with Fresh Tomato and Onion Relish.
