Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 0.5 lb chorizo sausage (casings removed)
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 pieces brioche hamburger buns
• 4 pieces provolone cheese slices
• 0.5 cup chimichurri sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup arugula
• 1 piece tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chorizo, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on top of each patty and cover with a lid or foil to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of chimichurri sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty on the sauce, top with arugula, a tomato slice, and an additional dollop of chimichurri, if desired. Finish with the top half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Gaucho Burgers!
