Better Butter Burger

  • Level: Intermediate
  • Total: 2 hr 30 min (includes chilling time)
  • Active: 30 min
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Compound Butter:

Roasted Garlic Aioli:

Burgers:

Directions

  1. For the compound butter: Stir together the butter, basil, parsley, tarragon, cayenne and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap in a 6-inch-long mound. Fold the plastic wrap over the mixture to enclose it, and roll it to form a log about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  2. For the roasted garlic aioli: Blend the mayonnaise, lime juice, paprika, cayenne, cumin and garlic in a food processor until smooth.
  3. For the burgers: Preheat the oven to broil.
  4. Form the ground beef into 4 patties. Stuff a slice of the compound butter inside each and broil the burgers to the desired doneness. Add another slice of the butter to the top of each burger, followed by a slice of cheese. Broil briefly, just until the cheese melts.
  5. Serve on buns with a small mound of the aioli on top of the cheese.

A lot of commenters say that the garlic was too much, but did you all roast it, per the recipe? There’s a huge difference between 11 cloves of raw garlic vs 11 cloves of roasted garlic. They are two entirely different animals.

To those who think this too “garlicky “, follow the recipe and roast the garlic first.

The burger was very delicious and savory! Although the garlic in the aioli was very overpowering and masked all of the other flavors. If there was less garlic than it would have been a 5/5! I'll definitely make it again but with less garlic in the aioli.

It was really good but there was way too much garlic. The recipe called for 11 cloves of garlic and I only added 5 cloves and it was still too much garlic. So maybe add less, like 3 cloves.
