These are made with Sask Snow Beef – a Holstein-Wagyu cross, raised by Ian and Nicole Crosbie in Caronport, Saskatchewan. If you can’t get Snow Beef, substitute a ground beef mix with 30% fat. These burgers are deliciously juicy and tender…they remind me of the burger meat I ate back in the 60s and 70s. They are delicious with Ben’s Herbed Roasted Potatoes.

Makes 3-4 burgers
1 lb ground beef, ideally Sask Snow Beef or a high-fat ground beef mixture
1 red pepper
1 tomato cut into 4 slices
4 lettuce leaves
Be a Kitchen Hero Burnt Canoe Steak Spice
3-4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Chive-Cilantro Mayo
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup plain yogurt
1 tsp Dijon
2 tsp prepared horseradish
2 tbsp chopped chives
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
Pinch salt
Preheat BBQ.
Place the red pepper directly over the flame and roast until black. Remove from the heat. Make a slit in the pepper to release the steam and let cool. Peel off the blackened skin.
Form the ground beef into 3 or 4 patties. Sprinkle both sides with the Burnt Canoe. Cook on indirect heat for about 4 minutes per side (for medium burgers). Then move the burger over the direct flame and cook for about 1 minute per side.
Cut the pepper into four slices. Place one lettuce leaf on the toasted bun and top with a slice of roasted red pepper, the cooked patty, and the tomato. Spoon over some Chive-Cilantro Mayo and top with the bun. Serve with Ben’s Herbed Roasted Potatoes
Chive-Cilantro Mayo: Whisk together all the ingredients. Chill until ready to serve. Make ahead to allow flavours to develop.
