Directions
- 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 Cucumber Salad and/or Dill Pickle Potato Salad.
