Picanha Steak Burger

Picanha Steak Burger

Author Mark & Fey
Course Dinner, Meal Prep, Sandwich
Keyword Beef, Burger, Piedmontese, Steak
Cook Time 2 hours
Servings 4

Ingredients

For the picanha steak

  • 1 1/2 pound picanha steak we got ours from Certified Piedmontese
  • Salt Pepper + Three Chiles spice blend

For the chimmichuri sauce

  • 1 bunch fresh parsley about 1/2 cup leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • 5 to 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

For the burgers

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 8 ounces thick sliced provolone cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce of your choice

Instructions

  • Pat your picanha steak down with paper towels. Flip the steak over so that the thick layer of fat is down against a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to trim away the steaks silverskin. Season the steak all over with Salt Pepper + Three Chile. Set the steak aside at room temperature for 1 hour
  • Set your grill or smoker for indirect heat at 225 º F . Smoke the picanha steak for 75 to 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 120ºF.
  • While the steak cooks make the chimichurri by combining the parsley, oregano, garlic, red pepper, and vinegars in a mortar and pestle. Work this mixture into a thick paste and add a heavy pinch of kosher salt and oil and combine until you have a thick but chunky sauce. A small food processor works for this too — just combine the ingredients with a few short pulses.
  • Shape the burger meat into four 1/2 pound patties, squaring up the sides and making a shallow indent in one side. Season generously with kosher salt.
  • Remove the picanha steak from the grill to a baking sheet to rest. While it rests grill the burgers. Crank the heat on the grill to medium high and. Grill the burgers over direct heat for about 12 minutes total, flipping every 3 to 4 minutes. 
  • Once again crank up the heat on the grill, aiming for about 500 degrees F. Return the steak to the grill and sear, turning every few minutes to prevent flare ups from that juicy fat cap. When the steak is darkly seared and reaches an internal temp of 130 degrees F, remove it from the grill to rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the steak rests, heat two cast iron skillet on the still hot grill and add the cheese slices to melt and crisp, this takes about 3 minutes.
  • Finally toast the buns and build the burger. Slice the steak and build the burgers – lettuce, burger patty, cheese skirt, steak slices, chimichurri.

Crunchy Birria Burger

Author Mark & Fey
Course Dinner, Lunch, Sandwich, Tailgate
Keyword Beef, birria, Burgers, Smash burgers
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 8 Oaxaca cheese shredded by hand
  • 1 pound cooked birria local is best but many grocery stores sell this too
  • 2 cups birria cooking liquid aka consomme
  • 4 burger buns
  • Handful of corn tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde

Instructions

  • Divide the beef into 4 portions. Form the beef into loosely packed rounds — like a meatball. Set aside while you prep the grill.
  • Heat a grill to two-zone cooking. Toast the burger buns over high heat and then set aside.
  • Heat a large griddle or skillet over direct heat. Add four mounds of Oaxaca cheese and as it begins to melt, top each with the birria. Top with about 2 tablespoons of consomme and cook until the cheese is melted and crispy on the bottom. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the burger patties.
  • Working in batches of two, add two beef rounds to the skillet at a time – season each with salt. Let the burger balls cook until some fat pools at the bottom of the burger. Use a large flat spatula to press down hard on each patty for 2 minutes. The burger should be super thin and have a diameter that is at least two inches wider than the bun (if your pan is too small you may only be able to do one at a time).
  • When the juices in the middle of the burger start to bubble up, flip the burger. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes then top each patty with Oaxaca cheese and consomme, cook until melted.
  • Build the burgers by topping the bottom bun with a burger patty, then the cheese skirted birria, a few chips and some salsa verde before topping with the top bun.
