Spicy Serrano Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix ground beef, beer, serrano pepper, and butter together in a bowl; form into 4 patties.
• Cook the burgers on the preheated grill for 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Top each burger with 1 slice Monterey Jack cheese and cook until burgers are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Cut meat into 1" cubes; discard skin and bones. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to freezer. Chill protein until very cold (it should feel firm but still give when pressed with your finger), about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place all grinding parts (the stand mixer's grinding attachment, including the dies, or the bowl and blade of the food processor) in the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes. Assemble grinder attachment with chilled coarse die. Set a bowl in a large bowl of ice; arrange beneath the attachment to catch ground turkey and keep it cold.
• Transfer turkey to a medium bowl. Mix in onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño or serrano chile, coriander, cumin, paprika, and freshly ground black pepper. Grind mixture in batches, with mixer on medium speed, and plunge gently to press through grinder.
• Form into four 1/2"-thick patties. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill burgers over medium heat until cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Cajun Mayo:.
• Prepare the Cajun mayo by combining the mayo, Cajun seasoning, and BBQ sauce and stir. Taste and adjust (like your grandma always told you), then set aside.
• Pre-Heat Grill on High.
• Burgers:.
• Heat a small pan over medium high heat.
• Add the pat of butter to the pan and melt.
• Add the onions and sauté 2-3 minutes stir often.
• Add the peppers and continue to sauté 1-2 minutes.
• Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
• Remove the onion, pepper, garlic mixture from heat allow to cool (Stick it in the freezer if your stomach is growling!).
• Put the onion mixture into a large non-reactive bowl.
• Tear the hamburger into small pieces and place in the same bowl.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the tbsp of Cajun seasoning over the meat and mix gently but thoroughly with your hands. (No pockets of seasoning please!).
• Sprinkle the remaining Cajun seasoning and remix careful to not over work the meat.
• Form into patties slightly larger than your buns.
• Grilling:.
• Place the burgers on the grill and listen to it sear the meat.
• Reduce the heat to medium / medium high and continue cooking with the lid closed until the burgers are done to your liking flipping once.
• Add the cheese shortly after the flip to get a really good melt (Important for thick slices of cheese).
• Remember meat tastes better if not over cooked and the temperature will rise another 3-5 degrees after pulling the burgers from the grill. Cooking by temperature is the only way to get consistent results. I like to pull my burgers at 145-150 degrees.
