How to Make Beef Patties With Chimichurri Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, crack and beat 1 large egg.
  2. 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.
  3. Gently fold in 1 lb ground beef until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Shape the mixture into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. 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).
  7. **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.
  8. 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!
