Wine-Soaked Burgers

(makes 6 burgers)
A twist on the standard hamburger recipe, these flavorful burgers will impress the guests at your next barbecue. These delicious patties are great for grilling!

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground round beef
  • 6 fresh bay leaves
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-1/2 cups dry white wine
  • 1-1/2 cups lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Form the beef into 6 patties. Place a bay leaf under each hamburger on a flat, non-reactive baking dish and sprinkle garlic over the top. Stir the wine, lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil together and pour over the patties. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate, turning the hamburgers several times, for at least 3 hours.

Half an hour before cooking, remove the burgers from the refrigerator and drain on paper towels. Discard the bay leaves. Grill, broil, or fry in a preheated skillet 3 to 6 minutes per side. Serve on warmed rolls and enjoy!
