1/4 cup EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil), plus some for drizzling
4 to 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder, a palmful
Salt and black pepper
1 large head broccoli, cut into thin, long spears
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, halved
3 to 4 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 pounds ground sirloin
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons celery salt, half a palmful
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (eyeball it)
2 teaspoons hot sauce (eyeball it)
4 sandwich-size English muffins

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place the 1/4 cup of EVOO, the garlic, chili powder, and a little salt and pepper in the bottom of a large bowl and add the broccoli spears. Toss to coat the broccoli evenly, then transfer to a large nonstick baking sheet. Roast the broccoli until the ends are crisp and brown and the stalks are tender, 17 to 20 minutes.
To make the burger topping, in a bowl combine the chopped celery and the grape tomato halves with the dill, parsley, lime juice, and mayonnaise. Use the back of a fork to smash up the tomatoes while you incorporate them into the sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, horseradish, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and a little pepper. Mix thoroughly. Score the meat with your hand marking 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a large, 1-inch-thick patty. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle EVOO over the patties and place them into the hot skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the patties become firm to the touch and are cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking, toast the English muffins. Remove the burgers to the bottoms of the toasted English muffins, add some of the celery-tomato topping, and then cover with the muffin tops. Serve the spicy garlic broccoli alongside.
