ARGENTINEAN BURGERS WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE



Argentinean Burgers With Chimichurri Sauce image

I made these today after watching Michael Smith make them on Chef at Home. My mouth was watering while watching him grill the burgers, so I just had to try them. I luckily had everything on hand and they took no time at all. They're really, really good! I made 8 really big burgers on my barbecue, but the recipe states you can make 12 regular sized burgers if you prefer.

Time 45m

Yield 8-12 large or regular, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large onion, peeled and chopped
8 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 -4 jalapenos, minced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 lbs ground beef
salt and pepper
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 small onion, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced
1 teaspoon chili flakes
salt

Steps:

  • Argentinean Burgers:.
  • Preheat your grill to its highest setting.
  • Sauté the onion, garlic, jalapeno and cumin in the vegetable oil until the vegetables soften. Cool slightly. Toss the beef into a mixing bowl along with the cooled onion mixture. Season well with salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Form into 8-12 hamburger patties.
  • Grill until cooked to your favourite doneness.
  • Serve on hamburger buns with Chimichurri sauce, avocado slices, red onion slices and tomatoes.
  • For best results form a divot in the center of each burger before cooking, this helps them cook evenly. Also never press on a burger while it cooks, you'll get some flame and smoke but only at the expense of losing juice that belongs in the burger.
  • Chimichurri Sauce:.
  • Whisk everything together.
  • You may serve immediately but this condiment is at its best after a day or two of refrigeration.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef: Look for ground chuck or sirloin with at least 80% lean meat. This will ensure juicy and flavorful burgers.
  • Don't overmix the beef: Mixing the beef too much will make the burgers tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the burgers gently: Don't press down on the burgers too hard when forming them. This will also make them tough.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't flip the burgers too often: Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry out. Flip them only once, when the bottoms are nicely browned.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy burger.

Conclusion:

These Argentinean Chimichurri Burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chimichurri sauce is a perfect complement to the flavorful beef burgers, and the whole family will love them. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy these amazing burgers!
