Equipment

  • Flat Top

Ingredients
  

Sriracha Mayo

  • ¼ Cup Mayonnaise
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Sriracha Sauce depending on desired spice level

Crab Cakes

  • 8 ounces Cooked Lump Crab Meat drained
  • ⅓ Cup Red Bell Pepper finely diced
  • ½ Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley finely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon of the Sriracha Mayonnaise
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and the sriracha sauce and mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • In a medium sized bowl, beat the egg then add the parsley, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, sriracha mayonnaise, lemon juice, and diced bell pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Gently fold in the lump crab and the panko bread crumbs, taking care not to break apart the crab too much.
  • Form into 6 equal sized crab cakes and place on an oiled pan. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook the crab cakes, heat your grill or smoker with the Cooking Steel to medium heat (about 350 degrees).
  • Once preheated, oil the Cooking Steel with a neutral cooking oil like avocado oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil.
  • Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes per side. Take care when flipping the crab cakes to avoid them breaking apart. Using a couple spatulas to help with flipping is often beneficial.
  • Serve the Crab Cakes with the Sriracha Mayo and some lemon wedges.
