Equipment

  • Cutting board and knife
  • Spatula
  • Garlic press
  • Bowls
  • Instant read thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Safeway bakery-made hamburger buns
  • 1 pound Signature Farms ground beef 90/10
  • 1 can Waterfront Bistro crab claw meat
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup Signature Select panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup Signature Select mayonnaise divided
  • ¼ cup Signature Select dijon mustard divided
  • 3 tbsp Signature Select worcestershire sauce divided
  • 2 tsp Signature Select Louisiana hot sauce divided
  • 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup chives
  • ¼ cup parsley
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne
  • 1 cup O Organics Baby Arugula
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ pound fresh asparagus

Instructions
 

  • Preheat griddle to medium high on two zones.
  • Bring a small pan of water to a boil.
  • Wash and dry the fresh produce. Chop the chives and parsley and set aside. Cut 6 thin slices of red onion, saving the remaining onion for another recipe. Using a bread knife, slice the hamburger buns in half. Trim the asparagus spears. Set aside.
  • Add the trimmed asparagus spears to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp. Remove from pan and rinse under cold water. Then set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the Signature Farms ground beef with 2 tbsp of worcestershire sauce, the Old Bay seasoning. Using your hands, mix well to combine. Form the ground meat into two ½ pound patties. Set aside on parchment paper and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
  • In a bowl, combine the egg, half the mayonnaise, half the dijon mustard, remaining 1 tbsp of worcestershire and half the hot sauce and whisk until well blended.
  • Open and drain the crab meat and transfer it to a second bowl. Pick through to ensure no shells remain. To the crab add the panko breadcrumbs and parsley and gently combine. Pour the egg & mayo mixture into the bowl of crab and using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Using your hands, form the crabmeat mixture into two patties. Set aside on parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine remaining mayo, mustard, hot sauce, the juice of ½ a lemon, pressed garlic clove, onion powder, cayenne and chopped chives and stir until well combined. Set this remoulade aside for serving.
  • On the hot griddle, place the burger patties on one zone, allowing to cook while turning frequently until the internal temperature reaches 155*.
  • While the burger is cooking, spread a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the second zone and begin cooking the crabcakes. Flip carefully and cook until the internal temperature reaches 155*.
  • On the third zone, cook the Signature Farms Potatoes OBrien according to directions.
  • When the burger has reached 155*, remove from the heat and tent loosely with foil on a cutting board. Toast the sliced bun on the griddle.
  • Assemble the brunch burger by first spreading remoulade on both the top and bottom bun. Add a generous handful of baby arugula to the bottom bun, topped with the burger patty and then the crabcake. Top with red onion slices and more remoulade if desired.
  • Serve your surf and turf brunch burgers with asparagus, fresh fruit from the Safeway produce department and griddled potatoes.
