Crunchy Coconut and Lime Burgers

1 pound ground beef

½ cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 egg

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon cream of coconut

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons cream of coconut

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut

½ teaspoon salt

4 hamburger buns, split

Combine the beef, 1/2 cup coconut, cilantro, egg, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon cream of coconut, soy sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a bowl until well mixed. Form into 4 patties, and set aside.

Stir together the mayonnaise with 2 teaspoons of cream of coconut and 1 tablespoon of cilantro; set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of coconut and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until the coconut has turned golden brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.

Cook the burgers on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. Spread both cut sides of the hamburger buns with the cilantro mayonnaise. Place the cooked burgers on the bottom buns, sprinkle with the toasted coconut, and serve.
