ingredients

For the Chili Crisp Ranch

  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup aioli (or avocado mayo)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chili crisp, adjusted to taste

ingredients

For the Burgers

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 ciabatta buns (or brioche rolls)
  • 2 large tomatoes, thickly sliced
  • 5 ounces arugula
  • 6 small (or 3 large) burrata balls, halved

Method

  • Step 1

    Prepare the Chili Crisp Ranch: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, aioli, granulated garlic, granulated onion, dill, chives, parsley, salt, pepper, and chili crisp until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  • Step 2

    Make the Burger Patties: In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the ground beef and gently mix with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  • Step 3

    Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions, forming each into a patty. Press your thumb into the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking. Refrigerate until ready to grill.

  • Step 4

    Grill the Burgers: Preheat a grill or flattop grill to medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 4 minutes on one side, then flip and reduce the heat to low. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the burgers reach your desired level of doneness, a minimum of 160ºF for medium rare.

  • Step 5

    While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the ciabatta buns on the grill.

  • Step 6

    Assemble the Burgers: Spread a generous amount of chili crisp ranch on both sides of each bun. Place a cooked burger patty on the bottom bun, followed by a slice of tomato, a small handful of arugula, and a ball of burrata. Gently slice open the burrata and press it down slightly.

  • Step 7

    Season with salt and pepper, then top with the other half of the bun.
