Grilled Jalapeño & Beef Burgers
Prep: 5 minutes | Cook: 5 minutes | Total: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
4 Brioche Burger Buns
Jalapeño Ranch - I used Wiseboys
2 Jalapeños, Sliced
560g 80/20 Beef
8 Slices Gouda Cheese
Crispy Shallots
Salt & Pepper
Special Equipment
Burger Smasher
Burger Flipper
METHOD:
Step 1
Preheat the BBQ to a medium high heat using a flat plate or cast iron pan
Step 2
Divide the meat into 8x 70g portions, then roll into balls and set aside. Slice the buns in half and add to the flat plate or skillet, toasting until golden.
Step 3
Add the sliced jalapeños and grill until soft, don’t over cook the suckers. Remove and set aside. Add the meatballs, then using the smasher, push down hard with a twist motion making pencil thin patties. If you're using a skillet, you may need to do this one at a time. Season the patty's with salt and pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes.
After a couple of minutes, flip the patties and top each one with a slice of cheese, cooking for a further minute.
To Build:
Add a good dollop of the jalapeño ranch to the toasted bottom bun. Follow this up with two patties, the grilled jalapeños and crispy shallots. Crown with the top bun and dive on in.
Dont sleep on these - they're delicious.
Top Tip:
Only smash a patty once! After flipping, if you push down a second time, you run the risk of pushing all the juice out of the patty. No one like a dry burger.
