Grilled Cubano Burger

Post by chef97 »

A very tasty burger you can make on the grill or in a skillet...

Ingredients:
3 teaspoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
1 1/3 pound fresh ground Chuck beef formed into a Patty
1 very thick slice aged provolone cheese
1 very thick slice of Deli Ham
1 thin slice tomato
1 thin slice red onion
1 thin lengthwise slice dill pickle
1 hamburger bun, split and toasted
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1. In small bowl stir together orange juice, paprika, cumin and garlic. Brush on both sides of burger.
2. Grill burger to desired temp (155 degrees is safest but I like mine around 140), then heat ham on both sides
3. Add cheese to melt
4. Serve burger, ham cheese, tomato, onion and pickle in bun.

As always, happy cooking!

Only thing I think it's missing is some mustard. I'd like to try that.

I had this burger last Saturday, which was my first burger with ham on it, one of the best I've ever had. From The Thurman Cafe in Columbus, Ohio. Was on the show Man vs. Food.

There is this diner here in my town that has a "Monster Burger" on the menu w/ 3- 1/3lb burger patties, bacon cheese and a fried egg on top.... It's friggen awesome and I had a picture of it on my phone for a while...lol

Nice. I love burgers (who doesn't) - so I try to have one from as many places as I can. My favorite I've had are from Hecks Cafe in Cleveland ( http://www.heckscafe.com/1070797.html ). Hecks has amazing fresh-cut fries as well.

And Food Network Chef Mike Symon also has a restaurant here called B-Spot Burgers that have some good concepts and great tasting burgers (Website: http://www.bspotburgers.com/menu/ ). I don't think they're as good as Hecks but B-Spot was voted the best burgers in Cleveland.
