Ingredients

Argentinean Burgers

  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 2 to 4 jalapenos, minced
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 pounds ground beef
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chimichurri sauce
  • Sliced avocado
  • Sliced red onion
  • Sliced tomatoes

Chimichurri Sauce

  • 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • small onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt to taste

Directions

Argentinean Burgers

  1. Preheat your grill to its highest setting.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. Yield: Makes eight large burgers, 12 regular

Chimichurri Sauce

  1. Whisk everything together. You may serve immediately but this condiment is at its best after a day or two of refrigeration.
