Ingredients
TO MAKE THE SRIRACHA BURGER:
1 pound ground beef
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
2 tablespoons olive oil - for cooking the burger
4 medium hamburger buns - 1 1/2-ounce (I like these gluten-free ones)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce - (or 2 or 3 tablespoons if you want some extra heat)
⅓ cup cilantro - sprigs
¼ large red onion - slivered
TO MAKE THE SWEET POTATO FRIES:
4 large sweet potato
4 tablespoons coconut oil - melted
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Let’s first make the Sweet Potato Fries. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Peel your sweet potatoes and slice them into thin pieces.
- Toss them in the mixture of melted coconut oil, all spices, salt and pepper.
- Bake the fries for 15 minutes, then flip them and bake 10 to 15 more minutes until they’re lightly browned.
- Then, let’s make the Sriracha Burger. Divide sirloin mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty (about 3 1/2 inches in diameter). Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with olive oil. Add patties to pan; grill 3-4 minutes. Turn the patties carefully. Grill for 4 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove patties from the pan.
- Cut buns sides down, and add to the pan. Grill for 1 minute or until toasted.
- Mix mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl, stirring until completely combined. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture on the bottom half of each bun; top each with 1 patty, add some cilantro sprigs, your red onion, top bun and serve.
