Ingredients

Serves 4

　　6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

　　3 tablespoons sour cream

　　2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

　　4 teaspoons soy sauce

　　1 1/4 pounds ground chuck

　　2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

　　2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot

　　1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

　　4 sesame buns

　　4 soft-leafed lettuce leaves

　　

Step 1

In a small bowl stir together peanut butter, sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce until combined. In a large bowl blend together ground chuck, remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce, remaining tablespoon lime juice, coriander, gingerroot, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste until just combined. Form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties. When forming patties, handle meat as little as possible for a juicier burger.

　　

Step 2

Prepare grill.

　　

Step 3

Grill burgers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 1/2 minutes on each side for well-done. (Alternatively, burgers may be cooked in a hot well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or ridged grill pan.) Toast sesame buns. Transfer burgers to buns and top with peanut sauce and lettuce.
