MESQUITE BURGER RECIPES

Steps:

• Layer 1 lettuce leaf and 1 slicetomato onto each bottom half of bun. Top each with 1 burger and top half of bun.
• Heat gas grill on medium orcharcoal grill until coals are ash white.
• Combine ground beef and grill seasoning in medium bowl; mix lightly. Form into 4 (1/4-inch thick) patties.
• Place patties onto grill. Grill, turning once, 10-12 minutes or until internal temperature reaches at least 160°F and meat is no longer pink in center. Top each burger with 2 slices cheese; let melt slightly.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your smoker to 110°C. 2. With a sharp chef’s knife, cut the beef sirloin into thin slabs. Next, slice the slabs into thin, spaghetti-like strips. Turn 90° and cut into 60mm pieces or use a meat grinder if you have one. 3. Combine the ground beef sirloin with the egg, breadcrumbs, Spanish paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Divide into 4 – 6 burger patties. 4. Place the burger patties and bacon slices into your smoker. Add a few mesquite wood chunks onto hot coals. Cook for 30 minutes at 110°C. 5. Preheat your grill to 260°C. 6. Remove the bacon from your smoker. Transfer the burgers onto your pre-heated grill and sear for 1 minute each side. Add slices of sharp cheddar cheese 30-seconds before removing the burgers, allowing the cheese to melt. 7. Serve with smoked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and your favourite condiments.
