How to Make Argentinean Burgers With Chimichurri Sauce

1. **Prepare the Argentinean Burger Patties:**
2. Preheat your grill to high heat.
3. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped jalapeño, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
4. Let the onion mixture cool slightly.
5. In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs ground beef with the cooled onion mixture.
6. Season generously with salt and pepper; mix gently but thoroughly.
7. Form the mixture into 8 large (about 1/2 lb each) or 12 regular-sized (about 1/4 lb each) patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
8. Grill the patties for 4-6 minutes per side for medium, adjusting cooking time based on your desired doneness. Avoid pressing down on the burgers while they cook to retain their juiciness.
9. **Make the Chimichurri Sauce:**
10. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
11. **Assemble the Burgers:**
12. Serve the grilled patties on hamburger buns with chimichurri sauce, avocado slices, red onion slices, and tomato slices.
13. (Optional) Refrigerate the chimichurri sauce for at least a day for enhanced flavor.
