How to Make Beef Patties With Chimichurri Sauce
- In a medium bowl, crack and beat 1 large egg.
- Add 1 cup crushed cornflakes, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Gently fold in 1 lb ground beef until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the mixture into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- **While the patties cook, prepare the chimichurri sauce:** In a mini food chopper or blender, combine 1 cup packed fresh parsley, 1/4 cup packed fresh oregano, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Pulse until finely chopped but still slightly chunky.
- Serve the juicy beef patties topped with generous spoonfuls of chimichurri sauce. Enjoy with your choice of bun, mashed potatoes, and a fresh tomato salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
