The Chacko - Grilled Teriyaki Burger With Mushrooms

  1. For the Teriyaki sauce, gently boil the ingredients until you're left with a sauce that's not too runny or sticky. Consistency is very important here so add some water when you begin to notice that it's getting too thick. Set aside once the sauce is ready.
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the meat patty.nsing fresh meat gives you more leverage over texture and flavour as opposed to frozen meat. If you're mincing the meat yourself, partially freeze the meat before mincing it as this makes it easier to control the fat and prevent it from melting during mincing.
  3. Once the meat mixture is ready, gently portion them depending on the size of the burger buns that you will be using. Remember the meat shrinks when it's cooked so it's best to portion it slightly bigger than the diameter of the burger bun. When you're shaping it, press down on the middle portion of the patty very gently to facilitate better cooking. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the set patties.
  4. Now for the best part - fire up the grills!nil the grill once it's been heated and place the patties on them carefully. When the change in colour from pink to brown is noticeable, flip the patties over and continue grilling. You'll have to be careful at this stage because it could crumble while you're flipping it. It's a bigger mess if it slips through the grills and lands straight on the heat source. Brush the patties with Teriyaki sauce on either side at least once.
  5. While the patties are cooking, saute the sliced mushrooms in some Teriyaki sauce. Right before the patties are set to be assembled between the burger bun slices, toast the sliced buns on the grill. Place a slice of cheese on the patties as you take them off the grill.
  6. Get creative with your assembly. You could choose to lay a crunchy bed of lettuce beneath the patty or rings of white onion. However you choose to arrange it, do make sure that you're using fresh produce.
  7. Place the juicy and tender patty with the melting cheese on top and drizzle a few spoons of the mushroom slices in Teriyaki sauce. Sign it off with some jalapenos as well.
  8. The accompanying veggies may be grilled after being brushed with Teriyaki sauce as well - that's completely up to you. If you're looking for more flavour (and grease), brush it down with butter.
