Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat, add olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, then add onions and garlic and cook 5 minutes. Remove to bowl and cool.

Combine the cooled onions and garlic with parsley, zest and juice of a lemon, and chili flakes. Combine the onion-gremolata mixture, beef, and salt and pepper. Form 4 patties, thinner at the center and thicker at the edges.

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.


Combine mayo, ketchup and balsamic vinegar.

Cook patties 8 minutes, turning occasionally, and melt cheese over burgers.

Build burgers: bun bottom, balsamic sauce, baby kale or arugula, cheeseburgers, folded ham, balsamic sauce on bun top.
