Time 25m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 large carrot, grated
1/2 small head green cabbage, cored and finely shredded (about 2 cups)
1/2 small white onion, grated
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for brushing
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 brioche buns, split
8 slices white American cheese
1/2 cup store-bought BBQ sauce, such as Spicy Bone-Suckin' Sauce, or homemade
Sliced pickled jalapenos, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Brush the grill grates with oil.
  • For the coleslaw: Combine the carrot, cabbage, onion, vinegar, mayonnaise, oil and sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the slaw sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • For the spice rub: Whisk together the ancho chile powder, paprika, coriander, cumin, mustard powder, oregano, cayenne and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • For the burgers: Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Shape each portion with your hands into a round patty, about 3/4 inches thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. Sprinkle both sides of each burger with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the spice rub on one side of the burgers then brush with oil. Grill, spice rub-side down first, covered, until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
  • While the burgers cook, toast the buns on the grill until lightly charred, 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
  • Add 2 slices of cheese to the tops of each burger. Cover the burgers with the grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 until the cheese is melted.
  • Place the burgers on the bottom buns and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce on each. Top with the sliced pickled jalapenos, some of the coleslaw and the top buns and serve immediately.

THE BEST HAMBURGER RECIPE (AND AMAZING SECRET SAUCE)



The Best Hamburger Recipe (and amazing secret sauce) image

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef (I used 80/20 - fattier meat means a juicier burger!)
1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup pickle relish
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 hamburger buns (we like sesame seed buns)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. Don't add too much bbq sauce or the patties will have a hard time taking shape. Shape patties that are about 1 inch thick (about 5 patties). (You can also freeze the patties after shaping them for about 1 hour to help them hold their shape.)
  • Turn grill up to high and let it get hot.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high and place the burgers on the grill. Allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it does not burn. Then flip the burger over and cook until done.
  • For the sauce, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
  • Assemble the burgers and serve with the special sauce and other hamburger toppings of choice.

THIN BUT JUICY CHARGRILLED BURGERS



Thin but Juicy Chargrilled Burgers image

The key to cooking a thin, modestly sized burger on the grill is to use the highest heat possible, and to cook the meat most of the way through on one side before flipping it and briefly cooking the second side. This technique allows you to get a nice dark crust on that first side without the risk of overcooking. To form thin patties that hold together on the grill, massage the ground beef briefly - which is a cardinal sin with many other styles of burgers, but a necessity here for cohesion. This allows you to flatten the patty out extra-thin and wide to account for shrinking as the meat cooks.

Categories     dinner, lunch, burgers, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 burgers (with 3-to-4-ounce patties)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 to 1 pound ground beef (at least 15 percent fat), or vegan ground beef alternative
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 soft burger buns, toasted in butter
Toppings (such as shredded iceberg, sliced onion, tomato and pickles) and condiments (mayonnaise, ketchup or mustard), as desired
4 slices American cheese or other sliced cheese of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • Divide the beef: Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the ground beef into 4 even balls. Working with one ball at a time, massage the meat gently in your hands until it is cohesive and tacky, about 15 seconds. Next, using clean hands, roll each into a smooth ball about the size of a golf ball. Place the balls on the baking sheet, one ball in the center of each quadrant.
  • Form the patties: Lay a second sheet of parchment on top, then place a second rimmed baking sheet on top of the first. Press down very firmly on the baking sheet, pressing directly over each patty in turn, to spread each ball into a thin patty that is wide enough that it will extend at least a full inch around your burger buns on all sides. (If using a vegan beef alternative, form a patty that is just large enough to extend 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch beyond the edges of the buns, as vegan beef alternatives do not shrink as much during cooking.) Refrigerate the patties until ready to cook.
  • Heat the grill: If cooking with charcoal (the preferred method, as charcoal gets hotter than gas), ignite a full chimney of coals. When the coals are mostly covered with gray ash, spread them out evenly under one side of the grill and allow the grill to heat with the lid off for 5 minutes. If cooking with gas, set the hottest burners to high heat, cover and let the grill heat for at least 15 minutes.
  • Season the burgers: When ready to cook, gently peel the top sheet of parchment off the burgers and season them generously with salt and pepper. Replace the top parchment, flip the parchment sheets with the burgers in between them over entirely, then peel off the other piece of parchment, which will now be on top. Season burgers generously with salt and pepper on the second side.
  • These burgers will cook very quickly, so prepare your buns with toppings and condiments as desired. (Placing any vegetables on the bottom bun makes the burger more stable and allows them to absorb juices that may drip from the patties.)
  • Cook the patties: Using your hands or a spatula, carefully lay the patties on the grill over the hottest part of the flame. If using charcoal, leave the lid open. If using gas, keep the lid closed as much as possible. Let cook, undisturbed, until the patties are well charred and juices start to pool on their top surfaces, about 1 minute.
  • Carefully flip the patties. (There will most likely be flare-ups; this is OK.) Add a slice of cheese, if using, to each, and continue to cook until the meat is just barely cooked through, about 15 seconds.
  • Transfer the patties to the buns, add any extra toppings or or condiments as desired, close, and serve immediately.

Tips for Making the Best BBQ Burger:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Start with good quality ground beef, fresh vegetables, and flavorful seasonings.
  • Season the meat well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper, as well as other spices and herbs like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Mix the meat gently: Overmixing the meat can make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the patties loosely: Don't pack the meat too tightly into patties. This will also make them tough.
  • Make a thumbprint in the center of each patty: This will help the burgers cook evenly and prevent them from puffing up in the middle.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Flip the burgers only once: Flipping the burgers too often can make them dry. Flip them only once, when the bottom is nicely browned.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more flavorful and juicy.

Conclusion:

The perfect BBQ burger is a juicy, flavorful, and messy masterpiece. By following these tips, you can create burgers that will be the hit of your next cookout. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy the best BBQ burgers you've ever had!
