Thai Style Burgers image

I found this in a magazine (Paul Kirk, Baron of Barbeque's recipe) If you like asian flavors you will love this recipe. Paul likes to add a tsp of cayenne to this recipe to get for of the Thai effect and taste. Recipe is as written. My 12 year old requests these often. :) I thought I would try making Thai'ders soon.....just bought some mini hamburger buns. I thought little sliders would be good with this recipe. **See Chef Note Below :) This is how I prefer them :)

Time 25m

Yield 6 Burgers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon of minced fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon finely ground pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
6 hamburger buns, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a medium hot fire on your grill (I have gas grill).
  • 2. Combine beef, peanut butter, sour cream, soy sauce, lime juice, cilantro, ginger, brown sugar, red pepper, salt and black pepper (cayenne opitonal) in a large bowl, blending well with your hands. Shape into 6 patties 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick.
  • 3. Place directly over coals, cover and grill to your desired degree of doneness, 5-7 minutes for medium rare.
  • 4. Place burgers on buns and top with lettuce tomatoes and onions and BBQ sauce.
  • **Chef Note: I skip #4 and like to top with my favorite Asian/Thai slaw- I have also found that a thin layer of peanut butter (as crazy as it sounds) on the bun gives it an amazing Thai flavor. Enjoy!
