About this recipe
Jerk Beef Burgers – Juicy Caribbean Burgers with Spicy Jerk Flavour
These Jerk Beef Burgers are juicy, bold and full of Caribbean character. The beef patties are seasoned with jerk sauce, herbs and spices, then grilled until caramelised and served in soft buns with salad, cheese, slaw or your favourite toppings.
This is a brilliant recipe for BBQs, family dinners or casual weekend food. The jerk flavour lifts the burger beautifully, giving it warmth, spice and a delicious island-inspired finish.
Chef’s Tips
Use beef mince with some fat for the juiciest burgers. Avoid pressing the patties while cooking, as this pushes out the juices.
Toast the buns for better texture and flavour.
Best Jerk Centre Sauce to Use
Taste From the Ancestors for a milder family burger, or Duppy Conqueror for more heat.
