Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound medium ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon hot horseradish
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon beef tallow
  • Yellow mustard

Chimichurri

  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño finely chopped
  • 3 -4 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup finely chopped cilantro
  • ½ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped oregano
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Spicy Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoons hot sauce

Toppings

  • Provolone cheese
  • Red onion cut into circles
  • Green leaf lettuce
  • Spicy sauce
  • Chimichurri
  • Potato buns or your favourite

Instructions
 

  • Patties: In a large bowl add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, horseradish and lightly mix to combine.
  • Shape into 3 x 5.5 oz patties (about ¾” thick x 4 ½” diameter). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spicy Sauce: Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, and hot sauce into a small bowl. Mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Chimichurri: Add the shallots, jalapeños, garlic, red wine vinegar, cilantro, parsley, oregano into a food processor and blitz to combine. Then stream in the oil with the processor on. Cover tightly and set aside.
  • Cook the Burgers: Before you start cooking the burgers, toast your buns using a toaster, toaster oven, or oven broiler.
  • Heat a large 12.5” skillet on medium-high. When the skillet is hot, add the beef tallow into the skillet.
  • Brush one side of the patties with yellow mustard.
  • When the tallow has melted, add the patties (mustard sided down) into the skillet. Then brush mustard on the other side of the patties. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until a nice crust is formed.
  • Add a slice of provolone cheese to each patty, then place a lid on the skillet. Turn down the heat to low and cook covered until the cheese is bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Build the Burgers: Spread a spoonful of the spicy sauce on the bottom bun, then add the lettuce. Add a patty, then spoon chimichurri overtop. (Repeat this step if you are having a double burger.) Add the onions and finish with the top bun.
  • Optional, spear a pickle using a bamboo skewer, through the top of the burger.
  • Serve with fresh summer salads, like a Cucumber Salad and/or a Dill Pickle Potato Salad.
