TIPS
RECIPES
GARLIC OVERLOAD BURGERS WITH CILANTRO GARLIC SAUCE
INGREDIENTS
CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian herbs
BURGERS
2 pounds ground beef
8 teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
FOR GARLIC OVERLOAD BURGERS
4 slices provolone cheese
4 brioche hamburger buns
DIRECTIONS
MAKING THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic and Italian herbs and blend well. Divide into 4 equal portions.
SEASONING AND MAKING THE BURGERS
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with the garlic powder and salt and pepper.
Divide the hamburgers into 8 equal portions. Form the meat into balls and then flatten into a patty about 1/4" thick. Remember to make the burgers a bit over sized to account for shrinkage when cooking. In the middle of 4 patties, spoon some of the cream cheese mixture.
Top each of the four patties with the cream cheese mixture with the patties without. Gently press the burgers together to form a large burger.
Grill burgers as desired.
When almost ready to remove burgers, add a slice of provolone cheese to the top of each burger. Allow cheese to melt by closing grill (or placing lid over burgers if using something other than a grill).
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
Place burgers on bottoms of brioche buns.
Spoon Cilantro Garlic Sauce over burger.
Top with the top of the brioche bun.
STEAK WITH CILANTRO GARLIC SAUCE
INGREDIENTS
- 4 (12-ounce) rib-eye steaks*, 1 1/4-inch-thick, at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to broil. Place an oven-proof skillet in the oven.
Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove skillet from the oven and heat over medium-high heat.
Place the steak in the middle of the skillet and cook until a dark crust has formed, about 1 minutes. Using tongs, flip, and cook for an additional 60 seconds.
Place skillet into the oven and cook until desired doneness is reached, about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, flipping once. Let rest for 3-5 minutes.
Serve immediately with Cilantro Garlic Sauce, garnished with parsley, if desired.
NOTES:
*T-bone, filet mignon or New York strip steak can also be used.
