Warm a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, gently mix together chuck and sirloin, being careful not to overwork the meat.
In a small bowl, stir together paprika, coriander, cumin, garlic, mint, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this spice blend over the beef along with the crumbled feta; fold everything together carefully. Shape the mixture into four patties, each about 3/4 inch thick and 4 inches wide. Season both sides liberally with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Place the patties in the hot skillet without pressing down. Cook until well seared and browned on one side, then flip and cook the other side until browned, about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Build your burgers with preferred buns, toppings, and sauces.
