Chopped cilantro flavors the beef, while whole sprigs take the place of the usual lettuce. Sriracha has rightfully become an all-purpose condiment--its sweet chile heat and its vinegar punch go well beyond burgers, perking up brothy soups, meat marinades, and dipping sauces.

Easy. We added toppings but the beef came out very juicy off the grill. I like how the cilantro was not overpowering I need to try this with other herbs now. Like basil. Yum.

This is a quick, simple flavoring for hamburgers. We skipped the cilantro sprigs sub for lettuce (too much cilantro flavor we would fear) and subbed in sambal oelek (ground fresh chili paste found in asian foods aisle) for the sriracha. Have made this three times so far.

I'm not usually a cilantro fan, but I highly enjoyed these burgers. The siracha mayo was really tasty too!

These are quite tasty. I bought 92% lean ground beef and my husband grilled them outside which gave them a nice smoky flavor. I didn't have enough cilantro on hand for the topping which it probably needs to balance out the spicy mayo. I think you could get away with making half the amount of the mayo because on a small bun it really packs a punch. I didn't even use all of the mayo it made.

LOVED these burgers - followed the recipe exactly but was prepared to be wanting a little more something - texture, spice, flavor - and didn't. They were perfect exactly as is. Since I generally have mayo, Sriracha and cilantro on hand, it only needs picking up sirloin and buns to have an awesome burger for dinner.

We really liked these. The kick from the sriracha mayo was very good, and the next time we make these we decided to add some chopped shallot for a little more texture. We also put a thin slice of cheddar cheese on the burger. It was so easy to make and quite good.
