Habanero Wagyu-Angus Burgers

You cannot go through a hot summer without making a burger of some kind. Burgers + a cold drink & a patio is the way to go. These burgers are juicy, a tad hot and damn delicious!

Ingredients
(Makes 2-3 burgers)

IMG_1131.JPG
  • 300 grams Wagyu-Angus ground beef (or any type of ground beef you like)
  • 1/2 small onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 small habanero pepper
  • 1 tbsp chives
  • 1 tbsp steak spices*
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small zucchini sliced
  • 2-3 toasted burger buns

Method

  1. Finely chop onion, garlic, chives and habanero pepper** - set aside;
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef, steak spices, egg, salt, pepper and bread crumbs;
  3. Add chopped onion, garlic and chives to the mixture (don't over mix) and shape it into patties;
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and gently place the burgers into the pan (you can also use a bbq, but I was too lazy, oops!);
  5. Cook the patties for 8-10 minutes on each side, flipping a few times and be careful not to press them too much;
  6. Once the beef patties are cooked, set aside and fry the zucchini slices in the same skillet;
  7. Assemble the burgers with your favourite toppings! (I dressed mine with ketchup, mayo, lettuce and fried zucchini slices.) 

* You can substitute Steak spices with Cajun spices.
**Careful chopping the habanero, that pepper is no joke, make sure you remove all the seeds with a knife, I'd even suggest wearing rubber gloves.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, and if you have the chance to try wagyuXangus beef, please do, you'll thank me later!
