Ingredients
- A pound of ground beef, boasting 93% lean or leaner qualities,
- A quarter cup of tightly packed brown sugar,
- A quarter cup of beer for an added depth of flavor,
- A quarter cup of zesty yellow mustard to tantalize the taste buds,
- A quarter cup of cider vinegar to enhance the tanginess,
- A generous cup of thinly sliced cabbage for a crunchy contrast,
- Four hamburger buns, delicately split and toasted to perfection.
Step 1
In a small saucepan, mix together brown sugar, beer, mustard, and vinegar to create a flavorful barbecue sauce. Let the mixture boil, then lower the heat to a simmer for about 15-17 minutes until it thickens and reduces to half a cup. Remember to stir occasionally for the perfect consistency.
Step 2
Next, gently shape your Ground Beef into four 1/2-inch thick patties. Place them on the grill over medium coals, letting them cook covered for 8-10 minutes. If using a gas grill, cook for 7-9 minutes over medium heat until the meat reaches 160 degrees F when checked with a thermometer. Don't forget to flip the patties occasionally for even cooking. Just a couple of minutes before the burgers are ready, toast the buns on the grill with the cut sides down until they are lightly golden.
Step 3
To assemble the burgers, start by spreading a tablespoon of the prepared sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a burger patty on top of the sauce and then layer the cabbage evenly on each patty. Drizzle the remaining barbecue sauce over the cabbage before closing the sandwiches with the top buns. Enjoy your deliciously prepared barbecue burgers with a flavorful twist!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. First and foremost, ensure you have airtight containers to store any leftover barbecue sauce. This will help maintain its freshness and flavor.
- 2. Consider storing your freshly grilled burgers in a stackable container. This will not only save space in your fridge but also make it easier to grab a burger whenever you're craving one.
