Pioneer Woman Caribbean Burgers Recipe Ingredients

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 Make Pioneer Woman Caribbean Burgers

1. Make the Slaw: In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced red cabbage with the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
2. Form and Cook the Burgers: Preheat your oven’s broiler. In a separate bowl, gently mix the ground beef with the teriyaki sauce, grated ginger, garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties. Place them on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Broil for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
3. Prepare the Mango Topping: Peel and thinly slice one of the mangoes. Chop the other mango into small pieces. Gently mix the chopped mango, sliced scallions, and torn mint leaves into the chilled slaw. Add a pinch of sugar if the mango isn’t very sweet.
4. Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the toasted brioche buns. On the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, a few slices of mango, and sliced avocado. Serve immediately with the mango slaw on the side.

Recipe Tips

• How do I keep the slaw crisp? The key is to make the slaw first and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. This allows the cabbage to marinate in the lime juice dressing and become flavorful while staying perfectly crisp.
• How do I make the juiciest burgers? When you combine the ground beef with the other ingredients, mix gently with your hands only until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the burger patties tough and dense.
• What’s the best way to cook the burgers? Placing the patties on a wire rack on a baking sheet under the broiler is a great method. It allows the heat to circulate all around the patties for even cooking and lets the excess fat drip away, preventing them from getting soggy.
• How do I keep the buns from getting soggy? Toasting the brioche buns is a crucial step. It creates a barrier that prevents the juices from the burger and the mayonnaise from soaking into the bread.

What To Serve With Caribbean Burgers

These tropical-inspired burgers are a fantastic meal on their own with the included slaw. They also pair wonderfully with:

• Sweet potato fries
• A simple side of black beans and rice
• Grilled pineapple slices
• A light and simple green salad

How To Store Caribbean Burgers

Refrigerate: It’s best to store the components separately. Keep the cooked burger patties, the slaw, and the toppings in individual airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat: Reheat the burger patties gently in a skillet or in the oven to avoid drying them out. Assemble the burgers with fresh buns and toppings just before serving.
