Argentine Chimichurri Burgers (Rachel Ray)
Ready In: 35 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley (Chimichurri)
- 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (or 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano)
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 jalapeno chile, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced (Burger Recipe)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- kosher salt and fresh coarse ground black pepper
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground sirloin
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- olive oil, for drizzling
- 4 slices mild Provolone cheese (or sharp, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick)
- 4 brioche rolls, split and lightly toasted
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 4 slices beefsteak tomatoes
Directions
- In a food processor, pulse the ingredients for the chimichurri until a chunky sauce forms (10 to 12 pulses); season with salt.
- In a small bowl, toss the onion and vinegar to make quick pickles; season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the beef and Worcestershire; season. Form 4 patties (thinner in the centers for even cooking).
- Heat a large griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high to high. Drizzle the patties with oil. Add to the griddle. Cook, turning occasionally and pressing down with a spatula to help create a crispy crust, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer the burgers to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. If necessary, scrape the griddle to remove any browned bits of beef. Add the 4 slices of cheese to the griddle, spacing them an inch or two apart. Cook until melted and lightly crispy on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Uncover the burgers and top with some chimichurri sauce. Using a thin metal spatula or two, transfer the fried cheese to the burgers.
- Top the roll bottoms with some pickled onions, the chimichurri cheeseburgers, lettuce, tomato slices and roll tops.
