• Add the vinegar, lime juice, sunflower seed oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until combined.

GRILLED BURGERS WITH ARGENTINEAN PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk parsley, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and oregano in small bowl to blend. Season sauce to taste with salt.
• Combine beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in medium bowl; blend well. Shape beef into two 1-inch-thick patties. Grill beef until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Transfer beef to plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

ARGENTINEAN BURGER

Steps:

• To make the chimichurri, combine the parsley, oregano, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the paprika, vinegar, and oil, season with salt and pepper, and process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. The sauce can be made 8 hours in advance, tightly covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• Cook the burgers, using the oil (see page 16) and topping each one with a slice of cheese and a basting cover during the last minute of cooking (see page 21).
• Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with a large dollop of the sauce and sliced onion. Cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.
