Sate Burgers with Indonesian Spices

Beef / February 9, 2014

I have been clipping recipes for decades, and this one from Cooking Light is exceptional. I added some panko crumbs – about 1/3 C – and an egg to help bind it, and then used 1.5 lbs ground sirloin and .5 lb ground turkey but the rest was the same. Served it over brown rice cooked in beef broth, covered it with a mango habanero sauce, and served alongside my Melon Orange Mint Compote, and a spring salad with a sweet chili vinaigrette. TRY IT!
