Make the coleslaw
1 Make the coleslaw

Preheat your grill to maintain a temperature of 450-500°F. Carefully oil the grill grates. Wash and dry the fresh produce. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vinegar, and half the mayonnaise. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Add the sliced cabbage and grated carrots to the bowl of dressing; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the pork and barbecue spice blend. Season with salt and pepper; gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into four ½-inch-thick patties. Grill the patties 6 to 7 minutes per side (flipping carefully, as the oil may splatter), or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a work surface.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for pork.
