The Hangover Cure Burger (we’ll give you the recipe in a minute, just hold on) is a patty developed by the masterminds at Denver’s Ignite— a recently renovated eatery located in the Coors Field Ballpark neighborhood. (Go Rockies!)

Recently renovated to subdue some of its intense industrial energy with warmer, historical notes including brass, capiz chandeliers, and whitewashed brick, the hungover crowd that flocks to Ignite for its Hangover Cure (and other burgers, which the spot is notorious for) is now met with an atmosphere that helps them recover (or at least not feel so bad about wanting to put their elbows on the countertops).

Although during the day and evening Ingnite serves a range of upscale plates (i.e. tuna poke bowl, wood roasted Brussel sprouts, and burgers with bourbon-bacon jam), it’s the breakfast menu that holds the real gold: a cure for the craptastic hangover you’ve garnered yourself.

And since we at The Manual fully understand that one, hangovers happen, and two, the right hangover meal is a make or break, we got Ignite’s recipe for its “Hangover Cure,” for you to recreate at home. (Lucky the making of this burger doesn’t involve any bougie cooking methods, so you should be able to manage with the Irish flu.)

There are a thousand tips and tricks to achieving a flavorful, tender, juicy, and delicious beef dish. Dry brining, tenderizing, and of course, marinading beef are wonderfully easy ways to ensure perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your mouth, incredible texture. But what goes into a steak marinade? How do you do it? How long should you marinate your beef?
What is a marinade?
A marinade is basically a prepared sauce that goes onto meat before cooking, not after. The meat is placed in the sauce (marinade) inside a leak-proof container to allow the marinade ingredients to slowly break down the beef proteins.

A steak marinade is a sauce that contains fat, acid, and seasonings. Fat can be an oil, buttermilk, mayonnaise, or yogurt. An acid can be lemon, limes, oranges, any type of vinegar, wine, or tomatoes. The seasonings can be paired with the acid to create a flavor profile. The fat will create moisture and will allow any fat-soluble ingredients to be absorbed into the meat.
