A twist on a classic! Next Level Chef star Pilar Gaines is sharing her unique take on a good old hamburger.“I love lamb, so I married my favorite protein with my favorite flavors,” the chef, 38, exclusively tells Us Weekly of her signature Asian lamb burger, which has become one of her dish staples. “It’s juicy and packed with Asian flavors.”Gaines’ take on the grilling staple opts for lamb rather than the traditional use of beef.

The caterer uses soy sauce, sambal and ginger puree to give the meat its distinct flavor. She pairs the patty with a jalapeño cilantro coleslaw for a fusion plate.

Gaines raves that you and your squad will “love all the layers in every bite!”Before making it to the final two on Next Level Chef in May, the Michigan native worked as a sushi chef for Wolfgang Puck Catering.
