Instructions
 
Using one pound of Steakhouse Elite Kobe-Crafted Ground Beef, mix with your hands all the patty ingredients until well distributed. Make into patties of desirable size (one pound generally makes four patties). Lay patties flat onto a shallow metal dish, like a disposable BBQ pan.
 
Mix marinade in a small bowl and then pour over patties. If patties are not completely covered by the marinade, turn them after two hours. Marinate in the refrigerator at least two hours.
 
When ready, grill to desired doneness. Place on a bun (ciabatta style buns are recommended) and top with desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onions, jalapeno, salsa, guacamole and grilled peppers. Top off with a cold margarita on the rocks!
