Recipe: Hamburger on a Stick

Hamburger on a Stick

2 pounds ground lean beef
3 large eggs
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup matzo meal or fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon pepper
About 1/2 cup cornflake crumbs
8 hot dog buns
Condiments

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, eggs, soy sauce, matzo meal and pepper. Mix well, then shape into 8 cylinders, each 5 inches long. Roll each cylinder in cornflake crumbs to coat evenly. If made ahead, lay on a platter, cover with plastic wrap and chill up to 4 hours.

Run a metal skewer (at least 7 inches) lengthwise through the center of each cylinder. Using a wide spatula to support meat, place each cylinder on a grill 4 to 6 inches above a solid bed of hot coals (you should be able to hold your hand at grill level for only 2 to 3 seconds).

Cook, turning with spatula, until evenly browned and done to your liking (cut to test), about 10 minutes for medium rare. Push meat off skewers into hot dog buns. Add condiments, as desired.
