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.
