BlackJack BBQ Sauce
1 Cup Jack Daniel's
1 Cup ketchup
1 Cup cider vinegar
1 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup diced red onion
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp Hot Sauce
Combine, bring to a boil and let simmer for 30 minutes. The ultimate goal is to reduce the sauce to a thickness consistent with regular BBQ sauce. How thick you want it is up to you.
I use this sauce for everything, great on chicken and steaks (I have two great big bejesus T-Bones for this afternoon)
Scott's Thunderbolt Burgers
Lean ground beef X 2 lbs.
Place beef in big bowl and add:
Good dash of your favorite BBQ sauce (Great recipe for the Jack BBQ sauce) You want to add enough to add density to the meat but not so much as to make it crumbly and gooey when cooked. It's a feel thing, add sauce in very little lots all the while mixing in with your hands.
Pinch of kosher salt
A few liberal shakes of Clubhouse Steakhouse Spice (Salt Free)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
A few dashes of hot sauce
Form into thick patties (I usually make four) and be careful to leave the inside lower than the outside, meaning, put a divot in the center of the burgers. This will aid you when cooking by allowing the center to plump out yet not turn the burger into a baseball. Once again ,this step takes a knack to get used to but works.
You have to cook these bad boys over high heat. Have your grill at least 450 degrees. Brush some oil onto the grill before throwing the burgers on or they will stick.
Grill the buggers and remember that a burger is not done until the temperature is 71. A digital meat thermometer is a must these days.
Enjoy.
