CARNE ASADA BURGERS

Carne Asada Burgers image

I saw Bergy had a recipe for Carne Asada Burgers, and while they weren't quite what I wanted, they inspired me to make up my own. We thought they were delicious! I am very much a cheeseburger person, but I didn't miss the cheese at all. In fact, I think it would not be as good with cheese as it was without it, except maybe pepper jack. Prep time includes marinading time.

Ingredients

1/4 cup lime juice, plus
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil, plus
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
2 dashes cumin
2 dashes garlic powder
4 lean frozen beef burger patties, thawed
2 bunches green onions, trimmed to about 3-4-inch long
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup thick salsa (I used Pace Chipotle Thick & Chunky Salsa)
1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
4 buns

Steps:

Combine 1/4 c lime juice, 1/4 c olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder in a large ziplock bag. Add beef patties in a single layer and lay flat to marinade. Marinade 1-2 hours, turning to marinade both sides evenly.
Combine 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder in a small ziplock bag. Add green onions; marinade 1-2 hours, shaking now and then.
Combine salsa and mayonnaise and mix well; refrigerate sauce until needed.
Grill beef patties over gas or coals until cooked to desired doneness (about 12-15 minutes for 1/2 inch patties over hot coals for medium-well).
Grill green onions for a couple of minutes, until cooked and just charred around the edges. Toast buns if desired.
Assemble burgers by spreading salsa sauce on buns, topping with beef patties, grilled green onions, and avocado slices.

CARNE ASADA

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 pounds skirt steak
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (1 large orange)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Mexican oregano or other oregano
4 cloves garlic
1 serrano chile, seeds removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

Place the skirt steak in a large glass bowl or resealable plastic bag.
To make the marinade, add the cilantro, olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, honey, oregano, garlic and serrano chile to a blender. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Blend for 35 to 40 seconds to combine.
Pour the marinade all over the steak, moving it around to make sure everything is covered. Cover or seal and transfer to the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, but no more than 6 (too long in the marinade will cause the steak to begin breaking down).
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
When ready, remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and grill about 4 minutes per side for medium.
Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the lime wedges.

Tips:

Choose high-quality beef: Opt for ground chuck or sirloin with at least 80% lean meat for juicy and flavorful burgers.
Season the beef generously: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful patty.
Handle the beef gently: Avoid overworking the meat, as this can result in tough burgers. Mix the ingredients just until combined.
Form even patties: Use a kitchen scale to ensure uniform patties that cook evenly. Aim for patties that are about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the burgers in batches to prevent steaming and ensure even browning.
Cook the burgers to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers. Cook to an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, or 170°F for well-done.
Let the burgers rest: Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and results in a juicier burger.
Add your favorite toppings: Top the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as sliced avocado, guacamole, salsa, cheese, lettuce, and tomato.

Conclusion:

Carne asada burgers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a party appetizer. With its bold flavors and customizable toppings, this burger is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're craving a burger, give this carne asada version a try - you won't be disappointed!
