  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  pounds        ground beef
     1/4  cup           soy sauce
     1/4  cup           sherry -- dry
   1      teaspoon      molasses or brown sugar
     1/2  cup           water chestnuts -- *
     1/4  cup           orange juice -- or
   1      each          clove garlic -- minced
     1/8  teaspoon      ginger -- ground

Preparation:

* Water chestnuts should be finely chopped. Mix the meat and water chestnuts together. Shape the mixture into 6 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. Place the patties in an ungreased baking dish 10 X 6 X 1 3/4-inches. Mix the remaining ingredients together and pour over the patties. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning the patties once. Remove the patties from the marinade. Broil or grill the patties 4-inches from the heat, turning once, until the desired doneness is reached, about 10 to 15 minutes. Brush frequently with the leftover marinade.
