Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil ((canola or olive oil work well too))
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
½ teaspoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated )
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (like Montreal Steak)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced)
2 ¼ pounds ground beef (80% to 20% fat ratio (you can also use lamb, pork or any combination))
6 hamburger buns (buttered and toasted)
bacon, cheese, (lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, mayonnaise, ketchup, etc.)

Steps:

Divide the ground beef into 6 equal portions, 6-ounces each. Form into 5-inch wide patties with a deep indention in the middle. Place in a large shallow, glass baking pan.
Mix all marinade ingredients together in a small bowl and pour over the burger patties. Turn the burgers then cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at 1 to 4 hours (or longer if desired) turning at least once.
When ready to cook, remove the burgers from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
Clean the grill grates with a wire brush. Oil the grates with paper towels soaked with vegetable oil.
Heat a gas grill to 325-350°F. If you don't have a thermometer, heat on high until hot, then reduce the heat to medium before adding the burgers. Using tongs, carefully oil the grilling surface again thoroughly.
Grill the burgers until cooked through, about 7-9 minutes on each side.
Allow the hamburgers to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
