- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chilies
- 1 bunch green onions, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 small habañero chili or 2 medium jalapeño chilies, seeded, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 pounds ground beef (15% fat)
- 6 sesame-seed hamburger buns, toasted
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tomatoes, sliced
- 6 romaine lettuce leaves
- Mix all ingredients in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Finely chop first 4 ingredients in processor. Add sugar and next 3 ingredients; process until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Set aside 3/4 cup jerk sauce. Shape ground beef into six 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick patties; place in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup jerk sauce over patties and turn to coat; let stand 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle patties with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness, brushing occasionally with remaining jerk sauce, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
- Spread mayonnaise over cut surfaces of buns. Place burgers on bottom halves of buns. Top with onion slices, tomato slices, lettuce, and bun tops. Serve, passing reserved 3/4 cup jerk sauce separately.
- Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
