Time 13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds ground beef (80-percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
4 English muffins, halved horizontally and toasted
1 tomato, sliced and lightly salted
Perfect Basil Sauce, recipe follows
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 green onion, chopped
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Quarter the beef into even portions. Form into burgers, indenting the middle slightly with your thumb. Season with salt and pepper, and brush lightly with vegetable oil. Cook on a hot grill until charred on the outside and pink on the inside, about 4 minutes per side. Two minutes before removing the burgers, top the burgers with the mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the toasted muffins on a serving platter. Place the tomato slices on the bottom, and top each with cooked patties. Spread a tablespoon or two of the basil sauce on each bun top and sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese. Serve extra basil sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Blend the green onion, basil, garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce in a blender until creamy and pale green. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if needed.

I'm not sure what I expected, but these burgers were not it. The basil was overpowering and the burgers were dry.
