Taste Of Thai Burgers With Ginger And Peanut Sauce
- 2 pounds boneless beef chuck (15% fat), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Thai peanut sauce (recipe follows)
- 2 minced scallions
- 1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly-ground pepper
- Thai peanut sauce:
- 3 medium shallots, minced
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter, regular not natural
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- Garnish:
- Mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's or Best Foods
- Cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- In a large bowl whisk together the oil and lemon juice. Add beef, toss to coat it well, and set aside to marinate while preparing sauce.
- In a small heavy saucepan heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, add shallots, garlic, and curry paste, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in peanut butter and coconut milk and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until mixture is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in lime juice, brown
- sugar, and salt to taste. Set aside
- Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Drain marinade off beef and discard. Place beef in a food processor in batches, and pulse/chop to a medium-fine grind.
- Transfer each batch as chopped to a cutting board. Add peanut sauce, scallions, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper. Mix well and divide into 6
- portions. Shape each portion into a patty, approximately the diameter of Kaiser rolls. Make a deep depression in the center of each patty, place on grill
- cook 10 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes until an instant thermometer inserted in the side of each burger registers 160 degrees.
- Place split rolls on grill, cut side down, for 2 or 3 minutes just long enough to toast them. Place each burger on a roll spread lightly with mayonnaise, top with
- a heaping spoonful of peanut sauce, cilantro and other half of the roll.
