Ingredients Needed:

Slaw:

• 1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
• Juice of 4 limes
• 2 Tbsp. Sriracha
• 2 tsp. kosher salt
• 3/4 tsp. black pepper

Burgers:

• 2 lb. ground beef
• 3 Tbsp. teriyaki sauce
• 1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
• 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
• Mango Topping:
• 2 ripe mangoes
• 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
• Pinch of sugar (optional)

For Serving:

• 6 brioche hamburger buns, toasted
• Mayonnaise
• 6 lettuce leaves
• 1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced

How To Cook Caribbean Burgers:

1. Prepare the Slaw: Toss the red cabbage with lime juice, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
2. Cook the Burgers: Preheat the broiler. Mix the ground beef with teriyaki sauce, grated ginger, garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Form into 6 patties and place on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Broil for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until lightly charred.
3. Prepare the Mango Topping: Peel and thinly slice 1 mango. Chop the other mango into small pieces. Mix the chopped mango, sliced scallions, and torn mint leaves into the slaw. Add a pinch of sugar if needed.
4. Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the toasted brioche buns. Top with lettuce leaves, burger patties, sliced mango, and avocado. Serve with the mango slaw on the side.

Recipe Tips

• Chill the Slaw Properly: Make sure to chill the slaw for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and keeps the cabbage crisp.
• Don’t Overmix the Burger Patties: Mix the ground beef mixture gently. Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Just mix until combined.
• Use a Wire Rack for Broiling: Place the burger patties on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. This allows the heat to circulate around the patties for even cooking and prevents them from getting soggy.
• Check Mango Sweetness: Taste the mango before adding sugar. If it’s already sweet, you might not need the extra sugar in the slaw.
• Toast the Buns Well: Toast the brioche buns until they are golden brown. This adds a nice crunch and prevents the buns from getting soggy when you add the mayonnaise and burger toppings.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Let leftover Caribbean Burgers cool to room temperature. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Wrap each leftover Caribbean Burgers in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in a skillet or oven.
• Reheating: To reheat leftover Caribbean Burgers, warm the patties in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until heated through.
