If you’re looking to elevate your grilling game, why not try something with a distinctly Irish twist? Straight from the renowned Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, former executive chef Justin O’Connor offers a mouth-watering recipe for Guinness beef burgers that’s sure to impress.
The history of the hamburger may trace back to Hamburg, Germany, but when it comes to top-quality beef and beer, Ireland is hard to beat. This recipe combines juicy Irish beef with the rich, deep flavour of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, creating a burger that’s both hearty and flavourful.
To prepare these delicious burgers, you’ll need:
- 2 lb minced beef
- 50 ml Guinness Foreign Extra Stout
- 1 oz breadcrumbs
- A splash of Tabasco sauce
- A sprig of fresh thyme, chopped
- A splash of Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, taking care not to over-mix.
2. Shape the mixture into patties of your desired size.
3. Grill the patties on both sides until cooked to your liking.
These Guinness beef burgers are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re celebrating summer in the northern hemisphere or enjoying the sunshine down under. The robust flavour of Guinness adds a unique touch that will make your barbeque stand out.
So, grab your tongs, fire up the grill, and enjoy a taste of Ireland.
