  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • Other ingredients:
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
  • 2 cups baby salad green mix
  • 6 Kaiser rolls, split

Instructions

  1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
  2. For the burgers, thoroughly mix the ground chuck with chopped shallots, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Gently fold in the crab meat. Form into 6 equal patties sized to fit the rolls. Loosely cover and refrigerate.
  3. For the sauce, heat olive oil in a sauce pot over medium heat. Add corn, onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add wine and broth. Simmer until reduced by ½. Season with pepper. While sauce is reducing start grilling burgers.
  4. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the burgers on the hot grates. After one minute turn grill to medium and grill for about 4 more minutes. Turn grill to med high and gently turn burgers. (Brush with more olive oil if necessary.) Grill one minute then turn to medium and grill for about 4 more minutes.
  5. Place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
  6. Combine butter and flour in a small bowl. Once sauce is reduced to half, remove from heat and immediately whisk in butter mixture to thicken sauce. Use immediately. (To hold the sauce, set the pan in a larger pan of lukewarm water.).
  7. Place salad greens on bottom bun, place burgers on greens; generously top with roasted corn sauce.
