Grill burgers to liking however, medium rare is recommended for this stage. Once done place burgers on steel plate and add 1/2 cup of marinated sauce over each burger and place under flame broiler to finish, about another 2 minutes. Since the sauce has an alcohol base, be mindful this will flame under the flames of the broiler. Be careful not to burn food. Use lowest grill possible.
