Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
Orange-chipotle mayonnaise
Jerk sauce
For orange-chipotle mayonnaise:
Step 1
Mix all ingredients in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
For jerk sauce:
Step 2
Finely chop first 4 ingredients in processor. Add sugar and next 3 ingredients; process until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Set aside 3/4 cup jerk sauce. Shape ground beef into six 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick patties; place in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup jerk sauce over patties and turn to coat; let stand 20 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle patties with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness, brushing occasionally with remaining jerk sauce, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
Step 5
Spread mayonnaise over cut surfaces of buns. Place burgers on bottom halves of buns. Top with onion slices, tomato slices, lettuce, and bun tops. Serve, passing reserved 3/4 cup jerk sauce separately.
Step 6
- Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Amazing! Making this weekend for the 5th time. Comment I've recieved numerous times, "I will never eat a regular burger again...can I have the recipe" The only thing that I have changed is I double the sauce and marinate overnight, rotating the burgers once.

Wonderful recipe! Don't change a thing when you make this - and don't substitue the habanero with jalapeno or any other chili or it will taste drastically different than intended. We add 1 cup of the jerk sauce directly into the ground beef (no marinating). Use any left over sauce for dipping.

爱这些汉堡。额外的3月,我冷静下来inade which made a fabulous sauce (everyones favorite part). Could stand to omit the Mayo, not outstanding and adds lots of calories. Used one seeded habanero, not a lot of heat. Didn't bother with the lettuce. Can see using the sauce on chicken too. Yum! Served with Caribbean rice and beans which were a big hit too.

So, its a simplified, maybe not entirely authentic jerk sauce. I don't care! It's absolutely delicious. At the suggestion of others, I cut the brown sugar down to 1/3 cup or so, and same with the soy sauce. I like serrano chilies, so I used those for the heat. Still basically the same sauce. Not really much else to say, it's a good burger with a really, really delicious marinade/sauce. The mayo was very good too, though now I need to find a way to use this (almost) full can of chipotle chilies.

I agree with some of the other reviews in that it was a little overly sweet. It just felt like it was missing something. I even cut down the brown sugar to 1/3 c. and added some cilantro to the sauce. I also marinated the meat for 2 hours, and I think that was a great move. I added swiss cheese to the burger and I think that helped too. It was pretty good. My husband absolutely loved it, but I thought it would stand out a little more.

This recipe turned out amazingly well! The `jerk`sauce, although not authentic, was delicious. Marinating the burgers really added to the flavor. Next time, I will add salt and pepper inside the patties. (I wasn`t sure if the sauce would over salt them, but it didn`t.)If you have the time, marinate some grilled eggplant in oil and vinegar, and serve on these burgers. The tangy contrast really serves the juicy meat and creamy sauce.

This is more of a blend of Korean bbq and jerk seasoning. Yes, it is yummy but too sweeet and way too much shoyu for a true jerk flavor. If you are looking for a more original jerk taste try the Grilled Jerk Chicken recipe on this site. I loved the mayo!

These are great crowd pleasers--a gourmet burger at an economical price. And the prep is so easy. I recently made them for a tailgate, and they were a huge hit.

These burgers were really delicious and I received many compliments on them. The girls even went back for more of the yummy mayo. However, like other reviewers, it didn't seem like real jerk to me. I used jalapeno peppers because I wasn't sure how hot my guests would like it but I left everything else the same. The marinade was excellent, I will definitely make these again but only 3 forks instead of 4 since I didn't get the real jerk flavor from them.

A delight. I simply reduced the amount of soy, brown sugar and oil. It was still a flavorful, yet rich and plentiful, liquid marinade. The adobo-orange mayo was the surprise element. The combo made for a burst of flavor in each bite. Use soft rolls, and definitely include the onions, tomato and a crunchy lettuce.

Excellent recipe - with excellent, easy-to-make components! I marinated the burgers longer (2 hours) and they were the most tender, juicy burgers I've had in ages. The jerk sauce is simple & uncomplicated (as compared to other jerk sauces I've made), but delivers on flavour BIG TIME. I cut back and made 2 burgers, but kept the mayonnaise & jerk sauce quantities as-is - and very glad I did! I used the leftover jerk sauce as a marinade for bone-in chicken breasts & baby back ribs, and drizzled a bit of the jerk in a Jamaican-style sweet potato salad. I mixed some of the Orange-Chipotle Mayo in my dressing for an island-style coleslaw (added thin sliced apples, pineapples, radishes, and red onion to a coleslaw mix), and made some Jamaican rice & black-eyed peas. End result?? I had TWO fabulous, different meals from this one recipe! Will DEFINATELY make this again!
