Directions: Preheat your gas grill to high To make Gongga Shan Salsa, whisk together lime juice and sugar in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Then whisk in oil, garlic, jalapeno and fish sauce. Next mix in cucumber, pineapple, cilantro, mint, tomatoes, and salt. Set aside and reserve. To make the patties, combine the ground chuck, Pinot Grigio, and steak seasoning. Mix together using your hands. Divide the mixed ground chuck into 6 equal parts and form into patties. Brush the grill with oil. Place the patties on the grill for 5 minutes. Turn the patties, and continue grilling for another 5 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the split Kaiser buns on the grill and toast lightly.
