Allright compadres. Here goes. I'll tell you what I did, then bust out some wicked pics.
The only way to make burgers is to grind your own meat (not a masterbation reference, and not offensive).
I prefer a blend of Skirt steak and Chuck.
This time I sliced the steak into strips and coated with my own proprietary JERK seasoning prior to grinding.
Then I done ground it.
Patties were grilled over charcoal on the Big Blue Weber.
Meanwhile I made up a bunch of other stuff.
My favorite baked good, a Jamaican recipe for Coco Bread is PERFECT for jerk burgers.
I made a salsa using green mangoes from my tree, which included fresh mint, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
I made a jerk mayo with, duh, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and some homemade jerk powder.
I made Tostones from green Plantin's
Also I fried up some queso blanco, called "queso para frier". It's so good. It makes it's own crust when you fry it.
I threw it all together for the burger, and it was amazing!!!!!!!
Note: The grind of the beef was quite coarse, which didn't allow for a "pink in the middle" product. The whole thing was steamed in its own juices.
So juicy and awesome.
Buena.
