Gourmet Horseradish Hamburgers Recipes

CHEDDAR-HORSERADISH BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place beef, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
• Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. With thumb, make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation in the center of each patty (this helps keep burgers flat during grilling).
• Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and pepper. Grill 4 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare, placing cheese on second side for last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking.
• Serve on English muffins (toasted on grill, if you like), with desired toppings.

HORSERADISH BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together until just mixed. Take care not to overwork the ground meat.
• Divide mixture into 4 evenly sized patties. Press a thumb print in the center of each burger patty (this helps the burgers cook flat).
• Heat a large (12") cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add all 4 burgers with a bit of space around each one.
• Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium, only turning 1x when the meat naturally releases from the frying pan.
• Serve with your favorite toppings and Enjoy!

HORSERADISH BURGERS WITH HAVARTI

Steps:

• Put the beef in a large mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the horseradish and chives; season with salt and pepper. Hand-form the meat into 8 burgers, cover them, and chill in the fridge while preparing your grill.
• Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill and get it very hot. Burgers stick to a cold grill, so it's important that you give it plenty of time to heat. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill; this will create a non-stick grilling surface. Grill the burgers for 8 minutes per side for medium; 7 minutes if you like your meat rare.
• When the burgers are just about cooked, put a couple of slices of cheese on top of each and cover the grill for 1 minute to melt the cheese. Remove the burgers to a clean side plate so you have enough room to toast the buns.
• Rub the grill rack with the same paper towel as before to clean the small charred pieces, then toast the hamburger buns cut-side down for 1 minute. Serve the burgers with your favorite condiment and any garnish you like, such as bacon, lettuce, sliced tomato, and onion.
