Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 2 tbsp Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 4 red onion slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Jamaican jerk seasoning, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, and breadcrumbs. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough burgers.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form into patties about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium. Adjust cooking time according to personal preference for doneness.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the orange chipotle mayonnaise by stirring together the mayonnaise, orange zest, orange juice, minced chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toast the burger buns either on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: spread a generous layer of orange chipotle mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, a slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as fries, plantain chips, or a fresh salad.
