Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 lb lean ground beef ((80/20))
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 jalapeños (diced)
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp lemongrass paste
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded (optional))
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 4 hamburger buns ((I use brioche))
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
  • 2 tbsp Sambal Oelek (or other hot chile paste)
  • 2 tsp soy sauce (or tamari sauce)
  • cilantro leaves
  • fresh jalapeños (sliced into rings)

Instruction

  • Slice 1 jalapeno into rings and set aside for garnish. Cut and remove the seeds from remaining 2 jalapeños and chop 1/4-inch dice.
  • In a bowl mix together the ground beef, pork, jalapeños, hoisin sauce, lemongrass, garlic (cheddar cheese) and salt and white pepper. Form into patties.
  • Grill to your liking, I cook first side for 3 minutes on high, then lower heat to medium and flip to cook for 4 more minutes. Flip again and finish with 2-3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, chili paste and soy sauce. Set aside.
  • Toast the bread or bun of choice and spread equal amounts of peanut sauce on both top and bottom cut side of bun. Top with grilled burger and cilantro leaves and jalapeno rings (optional).
