Ingredients

Burger:

  • 1/3 pound ground beef 20% fat
  • 1/3 pound pork
  • 1/3 pound ground lamb
  • 1 egg
  • 1 shallots minced
  • 1 cloves garlic minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Aioli

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

To Serve:

  • 4 dill pickles sliced optional
  • 1 avocado
  • 6 ounces arugala

Instructions

  • Prepare the aioli: mix all ingredients together and leave in refrigerator for 30 minutes while you prepare the burgers.
  • For the burgers, sauté the shallots in a tablespoon of avocado oil until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about one more minute. Set aside to cool.
  • Combine all meats and egg and add cooked shallot and garlic mixture. Mix to combine and then divide into 4 patties. Shape patties into rounds, flattening them down and press a large dimple into the middle of the patty (this will prevent it from bowing up in the center when cooked).
  • Season with salt and pepper just before cooking (helps prevent texture changes from the salt exposure).
  • Grill or cook in a cast iron skillet over high heat, about 3-5 minutes per side (160ºF internal), or to your liking.
  • Serve on top of a small bed of arugula with a aioli, 1/4 avocado, and dill pickle, if desired.
