A Smokey Flavor Grilled Burger Recipe

We can't deny the fact that most of us enjoy eating a burger. I'm a big fan of those smokey flavored burgers out there! I enjoy burger specially if the burger patties are grilled and big. Sometimes, I cook my own patties and share it with my niece and cousins. Preparing it is not that hard. You just need to have the right ingredients and a good grill to get things done. So if you haven't tried it yet, check it out for yourself! :)

INGREDIENTS:

One pound of ground beef or bison
1 teaspoon Coarse ground pepper
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Cilantro
1 teaspoon Fresh minced garlic
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
Hamburger Buns
Lettuce (optional)
Tomato (optional)
Cheese (optional)
Bacon (optional)

PROCEDURE:

1. Mix all the ingredients such as pepper, seasoning, cilantro and garlic. Stir them well.
2. Combine and massage the ground meat with the ingredients with your hands. Mix them well to make sure the ingredients are dispersed evenly and that the ingredients are well combined with meat.
3. Take a small beef mixture, probably around 1/6 and press it on a plate. Roll and smooth the meat to create a hamburger patty size. Flatten it onto the plate with your palm. You can use wax paper sheets if you don't want to get your hands dirty, but I suggest to do this with your bare hands.
4. Make sure that the side and top of the burger is smooth to keep them in uniform. The size of the burger would depend on how big you prefer it.
5. Heat the charcoal grill for around 4-5 minutes to warm up the sureface. Put the burger patties on the grill and baste it with some barbeque sauce on top for each side.
6. Grill it for around 4 minutes or more on each side depending on how hot your grill is for a medium or medium rare burger patties. Do not flip the burger on the other side without basting the other side first with barbeque sauce to add some flavor. Cook it until you get the grill mark or you can use a thermometer to monitor the meat.
7. Add some cheese during the last minute of cooking to add some extra flavor to your burger pattie. You can serve it with some hamburger buns, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, bacon and cheese. These are optional anyway, the burger pattie itself is absolutely delicious.

Grilled Pork Ribs Recipe

Another recipe that I want to feature here is one of my favorite recipe to grill most of the time. I love pork ribs specially when it is roasted and spicy. It's a little bit time consuming but definitely worth the wait! I'm a charcoal grill user so I make sure that I have the right amount of heat so the meat will be cooked right with a very strong smokey flavor. This recipe is also good to served with a couple of mixed vegetables like beans, potato or corn. Check the recipe below and enjoy grilling!

INGREDIENTS:
1 or 2 Slabs of pork ribs
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Tomato paste
2 tbsp Minced garlic
1 Small finely minced onion
2 tbsp Sugar
1/4 cup Citrus juice or Calamondin (Calamansi, lemon or lime as an alternative.)
Salt and pepper
Barbeque sauce
Hot sauce (depends on how spicy you want it)
Olive oil (for basting)


PROCEDURE:
1. Prepare the marinade first by mixing all the ingredients such as garlic, calamansi, salt, pepper, soy sauce, tomato paste, onion, barbeque sauce, etc.
2. Put the slabs of pork in a vacuum sealer bag or a container and pour over the marinade. Close the sealed bag and massage the marinade all ove the pork ribs.
3. Let it sit in a refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight before cooking.
4. Prepare the grill and heat it up for around 10-15 minutes. Make sure that you have the right amount of heat to cook the meat.
5. Sear the pork for about 3-5 minutes per side.
6. Move the meat to the side so it won't be over the flame. When using charcoal grills, push the coals to one side and put the ribs on the other side. You can adjust the lid or flame so that when the cover of your grill is down, the temperature still stays between 250°F/120°C and 275°F/135°C. It is also advisable fi your grill has an oven thermometer feature.
7. Turn the meat about 25-30 minutes or until the meat is done. Baste it with an olive oil to keep it moist.
8. Serve it with sauted carrots, corn and green peas in butter and some mashed potatoes or beans.
