Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef chuck
• 4 sesame seed sandwich rolls, split, toasted
• 1 cup watercress or mixed spring greens

Seasoning

• 1 Tbsp. curry powder
• 1 Tbsp. Caribbean jerk seasoning
• 1 tsp. salt

Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 2 tsp. grated lime peel
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

Combine ground beef and seasoning ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally.

Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in small bowl; set aside.

Spread sauce on cut sides of rolls. Place a burger on bottom half of each roll; top evenly with watercress. Close sandwiches.
