Marinated Hamburgers Recipes

BEST HAMBURGER MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except ground beef in a medium bowl. Mix together.
• Add ground beef and use your hands to gently blend marinade into meat.
• Be careful not to handle too much or meat will become tough.
• Form ground beef into four equal sized (1/4 pound) round patties. Flatten patties so they're bigger than the buns.
• Make an indentation in the center of each burger. (This will help burgers not to bulge in the center.)
• Cover patties and let marinade in refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Grill over high heat to quickly sear outside of burger and seal in juices. Cook 3-4 minutes per side.

MARINATED BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide the ground beef into 6 equal portions, 6-ounces each. Form into 5-inch wide patties with a deep indention in the middle. Place in a large shallow, glass baking pan.
• Mix all marinade ingredients together in a small bowl and pour over the burger patties. Turn the burgers then cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at 1 to 4 hours (or longer if desired) turning at least once.
• When ready to cook, remove the burgers from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Clean the grill grates with a wire brush. Oil the grates with paper towels soaked with vegetable oil.
• Heat a gas grill to 325-350°F. If you don't have a thermometer, heat on high until hot, then reduce the heat to medium before adding the burgers. Using tongs, carefully oil the grilling surface again thoroughly.
• Grill the burgers until cooked through, about 7-9 minutes on each side.
• Allow the hamburgers to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

THE JUICIEST HAMBURGERS EVER

Steps:

• Shape the ground beef into three patties. Place the patties in a shallow dish.
• Combine the beer, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the burgers. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Flip the burgers over and marinate for an additional 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes before flipping them over. Cook the burgers to the desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

MARINATED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Put 6 patties on a flat, nonreactive baking dish. Place a bay leaf under each burger and sprinkle the garlic over them.
• Stir the wine, lemon juice, vinegar and oil together and pour over the patties. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate, turning the burgers several times, for at least 3 hours. Half an hour before cooking, remove the bay leaves and drain the patties on paper. Grill, broil or fry in a hot cast-iron skillet, 3 to 6 minutes per side. Serve on warmed rolls.
