ARGENTINEAN BURGER
Argentineans are well-known for their beef and for their love of the grill. Just about everything that comes off of the Argentinean grill is garnished with chimichurri, a bright herbaceous mixture of fresh parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. It could very well be the national condiment. Knowing what an affinity grilled meats and chimichurri have for one another, it makes sense that a burger would benefit from a dose of vibrant chimichurri as well. Rings of deep red onion and slices of slightly salty Manchego cheese finish the burger to perfection.

Steps:
- To make the chimichurri, combine the parsley, oregano, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the paprika, vinegar, and oil, season with salt and pepper, and process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. The sauce can be made 8 hours in advance, tightly covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
- Cook the burgers, using the oil (see page 16) and topping each one with a slice of cheese and a basting cover during the last minute of cooking (see page 21).
- Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with a large dollop of the sauce and sliced onion. Cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.
ARGENTINEAN BURGERS WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE
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.

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.
