Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 4 slices Provolone cheese slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with minced garlic. Set aside to develop flavor while preparing the other components of the burger.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and gently shape into patties, about 4 inches in diameter. Avoid over-handling to keep the patties tender.
Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
Cook the patties on the preheated grill for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the second side for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
About 1 minute before the patties are finished cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty to melt.
While the patties cook, split the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the garlic aioli on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cooked beef patty topped with melted provolone, and a few pieces of roasted red pepper.
Top with the remaining half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy!
