A zesty burger with a cooling lime sauce – you’ll never look at a burger the same way again!
1-1/2 pounds ground beef chuck or round
4 sesame seed sandwich rolls, split, toasted
1 cup watercress or mixed spring greens
Seasoning:
1 TBS tablespoon curry powder
1 TBS Caribbean jerk seasoning
1 tsp salt
Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 TBS fresh lime juice
2 tsp grated lime peel
1/4 tsp salt
Combine ground beef and seasoning ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally.
Meanwhile combine sauce ingredients in small bowl; set aside.
Spread sauce on cut sides of rolls. Place a burger on bottom half of each roll; top evenly with watercress. Close sandwiches. Makes 4 servings.
