Florida Burgers with Peach Compote Recipe

(COURTESY FLORIDA BEEF COUNCIL)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
• 1 cup diced peaches, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup diced sweet onion
• 1 cup Budweiser beer
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 cup goat cheese
• 4 pre-baked biscuits, split

COOKING:

1. To prepare peach compote, heat large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add peaches and onion; cook and stir until lightly browned about 5 minutes. Add beer, brown sugar and rosemary; bring to a boil. Cook until peaches and onion are soft and liquid is almost gone, 13 to 15 minutes; keep warm.
2. Lightly shape ground beef into four 1/2-inch patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
3. Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
4. Evenly spread goat cheese on bottom half of each biscuit; top with burgers. Evenly spoon peach compote over burgers. Close sandwiches.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS:

• Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.
  Separate raw meat from other foods.
• Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
• Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
• Wash all produce prior to use.
• Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
• Refrigerate food promptly.
