Best Steak And Burger Marinade Recipes

BEST HAMBURGER MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except ground beef in a medium bowl. Mix together.
• Add ground beef and use your hands to gently blend marinade into meat.
• Be careful not to handle too much or meat will become tough.
• Form ground beef into four equal sized (1/4 pound) round patties. Flatten patties so they're bigger than the buns.
• Make an indentation in the center of each burger. (This will help burgers not to bulge in the center.)
• Cover patties and let marinade in refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Grill over high heat to quickly sear outside of burger and seal in juices. Cook 3-4 minutes per side.

STEAKHOUSE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high heat.
• In a large bowl, mash the bread and milk together with a fork until it forms a chunky paste. Add the salt, pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup and mix well.
• Add the ground beef and scallions and break the meat up with your hands. Mix everything together until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form compact balls. Flatten the balls into ¾-inch patties about 4½ inches across. Form a slight depression in the center of each patty to prevent the burgers from puffing up on the grill.
• Oil the grilling grates. Grill the burgers, covered, until nicely browned on the first side, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip burgers and continue cooking for a few minutes more until desired doneness is reached. Before serving, toast the buns on the cooler side of the grill if desired.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The uncooked burgers can be frozen for up to three months. (Freeze the burgers on a baking sheet or plate so their shape sets, then transfer them to a sealable plastic bag for easy storage.) Defrost the burgers overnight in the refrigerator prior to serving and then cook as directed.

MARINATED BURGERS

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.

STEAK AND BURGER MARINADE

Steps:

• Pour over burgers or steaks and let sit in refrigerator for 1 hour. (Roughly the time it takes to watch that Sopranos episode you missed on HBO On Demand) You can even mix a little into the burger while forming patties.
• Cook over hardwood charcoal fire. Grill should be hot enough to sear outside quickly.

STEAK AND CHOP BURGER

Steps:

• 1. Mix ground beef and ¼ cup of the marinade in medium bowl until well blended. Shape into 4 patties.
• 2. Grill burgers over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes per side or until burgers are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F). Add cheese slices during last 1 minute of cooking. Meanwhile grill vegetables 5 to 10 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally and brushing with remaining ½ cup marinade.
• 3. Slice mushrooms and pepper into thin strips. Serve with burgers on rolls.
