1-1/2 pounds ground beef

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup sherry -- dry

1 teaspoon molasses or brown sugar

1/2 cup water chestnuts*

1/4 cup orange juice -- or

1 each clove garlic -- minced

1/8 teaspoon ginger -- ground

* Water chestnuts should be finely chopped. Mix the meat and water chestnuts together.

Shape the mixture into 6 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. Place the patties in an

ungreased baking dish 10 X 6 X 1 3/4-inches. Mix the remaining ingredients together and

pour over the patties. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning the patties once.

Remove the patties from the marinade. Broil or grill the patties 4-inches from the heat,

turning once, until the desired doneness is reached, about 10 to 15 minutes. Brush

frequently with the leftover marinade. Posted to the BBQ List by Carey Starzinger on Aug 21,
