You might spot Ewan McGregor asking for one of these burgers at the Santa Monica outpost of this California chain. He's a sucker for the sauteed veggies and jerk sauce. barneyshamburgers.com

Ingredients

For the jerk sauce: 

For the vegetables:

For the burgers:

Directions

  1. Make the jerk sauce: Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, jarred jerk sauce, Cajun seasoning and red pepper flakes in a bowl until combined. Stir in the bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic; cover and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Make the vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the carrots, zucchini and bell pepper, season with salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the prepared jerk sauce and cook until the vegetables are glazed, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  3. Grill the burgers: Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with canola oil. Form the beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Meanwhile, lightly toast the buns on the grill.
  4. Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the sauteed vegetables.
