Soy Glazed Beef Burger Food

SOY-GLAZED BEEF

Steps:

• To make the marinade, blitz the garlic, chilli and ginger in a blender until finely chopped. Add the soy or teriyaki sauce and ketchup, then pulse until completely blended. Put the beef in a dish and smear over the marinade. Leave in the fridge to marinate for up to 24 hours, the longer the better.
• To cook the beef, fire up the barbecue and, when flames subside and coals glow, lay it fat side down and char for about 5 mins to get fat sizzling. Flip it over and cook for 40 mins for medium rare, turning occasionally until all sides are charred. If the barbecue has a lid, use it for a smokier flavour. A few mins before taking the beef off, drizzle over brandy or bourbon (if using) to flambé the meat.
• Lift the meat onto a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for at least 10 mins. Carve the beef into slices like a roast and serve with any juices.

SOY-GLAZED SALMON BURGERS WITH GINGER LIME AIOLI

Steps:

• Prepare grill with a medium fire for direct-heat cooking. In a small bowl, combine aioli ingredients. Reserve 2 tablespoons for burgers and chill remainder until serving time.
• Combine soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a small, heavy saucepan. Mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon wine in a small bowl until smooth and add to soy mixture. Place over grill and stir mixture until glaze boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, sip a glass of Sutter Home Sauvignon Blanc, saving remainder for grilling. Set glaze aside. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, aioli, sour cream, lime juice, and chili sauce. Stir in salmon, onion, mint, bread crumbs, and salt to combine. Coat hands with vegetable oil and form 4 patties. Brush grill with vegetable oil and grill patties until browned on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn patties and brush cooked side with soy glaze. Cook 3 minutes, turn, and brush other side with glaze. Grill just until done, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning and brushing with glaze frequently. During the last few minutes of cooking toast buns, cut side down, on outside of grill. Place cucumber strips on bottom half of bun, top with burgers, aioli, and bun tops. Garnish with sprouts, if desired.

SOY-GLAZED SALMON BURGER W/GINGER-LIME AIOLI

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
• To make the aioli, combine the first six ingredients (mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, minced ginger, freshly squeezed lime juice and salt) in a bowl and mix well. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the patties and cover and refrigerate the remainder until serving.
• To make the glaze, combine the soy sauce, honey and rice vinegar in a small, heavy fire-proof saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon white wine in a small bowl until smooth and add to the soy mixture. Place on the grill rack and stir the mixture until it boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• To make the patties, combine the reserved 2 tablespoons aioli with the egg, sour cream, lime juice and chile sauce in a large bowl and whisk to blend well. Add the chopped salmon, onion, cilantro, bread crumbs and salt. Handle the salmon as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Coat your hands with vegetable oil and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns.
• When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn the patties and brush the cooked side with soy glaze. Cook, turning and brushing frequently with the glaze, just until opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes longer. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
• To assemble the burgers, top each bun bottom with an equal portion of the cucumber strips, a patty and an equal portion of the aioli. Add the bun tops and serve.
