Lightly oil grill. Heat barbecue to medium. Whisk egg in a large bowl. Crumble in beef. Sprinkle with onion, basil, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt and ground coriander. Using your hands or a large wooden spoon, mix just until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Shape into 4 burgers about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.
