Burgers With A Kick Food

BURGERS WITH A KICK

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except ground beef in a separate bowl.

• Grill over medium high heat to desired doneness (6-8 minutes), flipping only once.
• Serve with cheese (pepperjack or cheddar) on grilled bun.

HAMBURGERS WITH A KICK

Steps:

• Put ground meat in mixing bowl (I've found that it's easiest to form the ground meat into the shape of the bowl).
• Add the egg, and spread a thin layer of bread crumbs (enough to JUST cover the meat). Do the same with all of the rest of the seasonings (season salt, garlic, onion, parsley, McCormick Seasoning). Be sure to only put a LIGHT layer of spices. (You can always add a little more if you need to).
• I don't measure my BBQ sauce or the Ranch Dressing, but I only pour enough to make a straight line across the bowl (If I had to measure I'd say MAYBE an eighth of a cup).
• Add your tobasco, and mix all together. If your mixture isn't quite firm enough, add a little more bread crumbs).
• Your mixture should be a little moist, but not so that it sticks to your hands.
• Form into pattys and throw on the grill. Cook to desired temperature I normally let mine on med for about 15 minutes and they are thoroughally cooked and just right.

CHILE SIRLOIN BURGERS WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Light your grill and brush the grate with oil once it is heated. Run a bamboo skewer that has been soaked in water through the garlic cloves. Grill the skewered garlic and the chilies until blackened, occasionally turning to get all sides, about 5-6 minutes for the garlic and about 20 minutes for the chiles. Remove from grill and place in a bowl covered with saran wrap to cool. Peel, core and de-seed chiles and cut into 1/4" strips, then peel the garlic cloves.
• Place peeled garlic and two-thirds of the chiles in a food processor or blender. Add cilantro, cumin, lime juice, oregano and water and process until smooth. Season with salt and fresh pepper and pour into a small saucepan. Simmer sauce over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, approximately 5 minutes. In a small bowl, toss the remaining roasted chiles with cheese.
• Shape the sirloin into 4 equal patties about 3/4" thick and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill the burgers over a medium-hot fire for about 10 minutes, turning once, for medium-rare meat. Remove the burgers from direct heat and brush the insides of the buns with oil and grill face down until lightly toasted, no more then a 1 minute.
• Place burgers on the bottom halves of the buns. Top the burgers with the chile-cheese mixture and a generous helping of the salsa verde. Cover with tops of buns and serve immediately, passing the remaining salsa on the side.
