Ingredients:
For these mouthwatering Juicy Jerk Burgers, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 lb (about 450g) ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend)
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Burger buns, for serving
- Lettuce, tomato, red onion, and other desired toppings
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Burger Patties:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, jerk seasoning, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Form the Patties:
Divide the seasoned beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumbs to create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up on the grill.
3. Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent the burgers from sticking.
4. Grill the Burgers:
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare burgers, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
5. Toast the Buns:
During the last minute of cooking, place the burger buns on the grill, cut side down, to lightly toast them until golden brown and crispy.
6. Assemble and Serve:
Remove the grilled burger patties and toasted buns from the grill. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun, then layering with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and any other desired toppings. Finish with the top half of the bun.
7. Enjoy the Flavor Explosion:
Serve your Juicy Jerk Burgers hot off the grill and watch as your guests’ faces light up with delight. The combination of savory beef, fiery jerk seasoning, and juicy toppings creates a flavor explosion that’s sure to impress even the most discerning palates.
