Everyone who tastes them agrees that these are not your ordinary burgers! A flavorful Asian-inspired marinade and crunchy water chestnuts make them a surefire crowd-pleaser. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean) |
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped |
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce |
1/3 cup sherry or reduced-sodium beef broth |
2 green onions, chopped |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
6 lettuce leaves |
6 hamburger buns, split |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the beef and water chestnuts. Shape into six patties. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sherry or broth, onions, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Pour 1/2 cup over patties; cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
3. Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill patties, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Serve on lettuce-lined buns. Yield: 6 servings.
