You either like cilantro or you don't. If you're in the pro-cilantro camp, these burgers are for you. They're moist and tender, with a hint of heat from the sambal and curry powder.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp
- finely chopped scallions, whites only
- 1/2 c
- fresh bread crumbs- i use 1 slice italian bread ground in my spice mill
- 1 Tbsp
- fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 tsp
- sambal olek- chinese chili paste
- 1/8 tsp
- curry powder
- 1/4 tsp
- paprika
- 1/2 tsp
- kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp
- black pepper
- 1 large
- egg slightly beaten
- 1 lb
- lean ground beef
- condiments of your choice
How to Make Cilantro Burgers
- 1Combine all ingredients (except beef) in a large bowl. Now add the ground beef, and with fingertips mix gently until incorporated. Don't over mix.
- 2Make 4 patties. **TIP** When making the patties, indent your thumb in the center of each patty to make a small well. This will ensure the burgers will cook flat and not puff up.
- 3Prepare grill. I use a stove top grill and heat it to high, then lower the temp to medium. Coat grill with cooking spray and add the burgers. Cook 5 minutes on the first side, then 4 minutes on the second. You're burgers will be medium to well done. Serve with whatever condiments you like. I like lettuce, tomato, mayo and Dijon mustard.
