Triple Seared Whiskey Burger

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 teaspoons avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons sea salt
• 0.33 cups whiskey
• 0.25 cups soy sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Wet your hands, and form 2 (8-ounce) burgers; place on a plate, cover, and refrigerate until ready to grill. For this process, cold meat works best.

2. 2

   Before starting the triple-searing process, build a very hot hardwood charcoal fire. Oak, mesquite or hickory are great choices. The coals should be glowing red, and radiating extreme heat before the meat hits the grill.

3. 3

   Rub burgers all over with oil. Coat with sea salt until entire surface area is completely covered.

4. 4

   Pour whiskey into a shallow bowl; set aside.

5. 5

   Place burgers on hottest spot on the grill, and sear both sides, 2 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Transfer burgers into bowl of whiskey, and turn constantly for at least 1 minute. Most of the salt will rinse off.

7. 7

   Place burgers back onto the hottest spot on the grill, and sear both sides again, 2 minutes per side. You can baste steak with a small amount of whiskey while searing.

8. 8

   Add soy sauce to another shallow bowl. Add burgers to the bowl, and turn constantly for at least 1 minute.

9. 9

   Return burgers to the hottest spot on the grill for the 3rd and final sear. Grill each side until desired doneness is reached, about 2 minutes. For a rosy-pink (medium-rare) inside, remove when an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center reads 125 to 130 F (52 to 54 degrees C).
