Asian-Marinated Hamburgers

Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced ginger root 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons sesame seeds 4 whole wheat hamburger buns

Directions
1. Form beef into 4 patties. Place in glass baking dish.
2. Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, gingerroot and worcestershire in a small bowl. Pour
over burgers. Refrigerate 1 hour or up to 8 hours, flipping burgers at least once.
3. Remove burgers from marinade, sprinkle with sesame seeds (press in) and place on lightly
greased grill rack. Heat reserved marinade until boiling, boil one minute and use as a baste for
burgers on grill.
4. Cook burgers until they are done to your liking, flipping once (avoid rare to medium to reduce
risk of foodborne illness) - approximately 5-7 minutes on each side.
5. Serve on toasted buns with sliced tomato, lettuce and red onion.
