FAQS
Can I use pre-ground meat instead of grinding my own?
Yes, you can use pre-ground lamb and sirloin if you don’t have a meat grinder. Just ensure the quality of the meat is good.
What can I use as a substitute for Moore's original marinade?
You can substitute Moore's original marinade with soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for a similar flavor profile.
How do I know when the burgers are cooked to medium?
For medium doneness, the internal temperature of the burgers should be around 140-145°F.
Can I use a different vegetable instead of asparagus?
Yes, you can substitute asparagus with grilled zucchini, bell peppers, or any vegetable of your choice.
Can I make this burger ahead of time?
