Set out to make hamburgers.

First is my interpretation of pickles and ketchup. Started off by combining the fruit cocktail and cucumber in a salsa with onion, tomatoes, various peppers, garlic, and cilantro. Added some salt and fermented this for a week to make it moderately acidic.



Next I wanted some mayo. I ground up the wasabi peas and combined it with some homemade mayonnaise. I let that sit in the fridge for a day to mix in well together.



I then took the ribeyes and ground them up in my food processor.



After a week of prep, it was time to combine everything and add some home fries. Cooked the various burgers between 130 degrees to 150 degrees due to differing sizes. The lower temp burgers came out at the best moisture content.



And all put together. Wasabi pea mayo, fermented fruit cocktail/cucumber salsa, ground ribeye paddies, and home fries. Photography is not my best skill.

Here is my submission, sorry that some of them are blurry, i don't have the steadiest hand...



Started with the ingredients shown above in addition to a few other seasonings and spices. I decided i was going to make a cucumber wrapped sushi roll topped with grilled ribeye steak (steak was marinated in a ponzu/sriracha.





I was worried about how the cucumber roll was going to work so that was the first piece i made.



For the sauces, i ground up the wasabi peas and mixed it with a blended up sauce of fruit cocktail, sriracha, and ponzu sauce (this sauce went really well with the final dish).



this is how the steak came off the grill (Perfect to me!!)



this is how the plate came out. Cucumber roll filled with imitation crab meat, rice, and avocado topped with ribeye steak with a hot fruit sauce and wasabbi paste. The side dish was a cucumber/crab salad in ponzu.



i had a little of the ribeye lip left over so i chopped it up and added it to the salad. this picture came out blurry which is a shame since it made the prettiest picture imo.
