Hamburguesas al carbon, or charcoal-grilled hamburgers, are a classic dish in Latin America. They are a perfect meal for a weekend barbecue with friends and family. The smoky flavor of the charcoal mixed with the juicy beef patty is an unbeatable combination. In this article, we will show you how to make the perfect hamburguesas al carbon.
Ingredients
To make hamburguesas al carbon, you will need the following ingredients: - 1 pound of ground beef - 1 teaspoon of salt - 1 teaspoon of black pepper - 1 teaspoon of garlic powder - 1 teaspoon of onion powder - 1 teaspoon of cumin - 1 teaspoon of paprika - 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce - 1 egg - 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs - Hamburger buns - Lettuce - Tomato - Onion - Cheese - Condiments (mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, etc.)
Instructions
1. Start by mixing the ground beef with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. 2. Divide the mixture into equal portions, depending on how big you want your hamburgers to be. Form each portion into a patty, making sure they are not too thick or too thin. 3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You can also use a charcoal grill if you prefer. 4. Once your grill is heated, place the hamburgers on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your liking. Make sure to not press down on the burgers while they are cooking, as this will release the juices and make them dry. 5. While the hamburgers are cooking, prepare your toppings. Wash and slice the lettuce, tomato, and onion. Get your cheese and condiments ready. 6. Once the hamburgers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. 7. Toast your hamburger buns on the grill for a few seconds. 8. Assemble your hamburguesas al carbon by placing the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun. Add the lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese on top of the patty. Add your condiments on top of the cheese. 9. Serve your hamburguesas al carbon hot and enjoy!
