Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chuck 80/20 mixture
  • 1 avocado pitted and peeled
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 roasted jalapeno peppers sliced
  • 2 brioche buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons beer or cooking wine, or broth

Instructions

  • Form the ground chuck into 2 burger patties, about 1 inch thick each.
  • Heat a large pan to high heat.
  • Season the outsides of the burgers with salt and pepper.
  • Set the burgers directly into the pan and cook 3-5 minutes.
  • Flip and cook 1 minute, then pour the beer (or wine or broth) into the pan. Allow to steam up around the burger. Cook about 3 more minutes or until done to your liking.
  • While burgers are cooking, heat another pan to medium-high heat.
  • Butter the buns and sear the butter side down to get them nice and toasted.
  • Serve the burgers on the buns, topped with heaping spoonfuls of guacamole and topped with roasted jalapeno pepper slices.

For the guacamole

  • Mix together the avocado, goat cheese, cilantro and lime juice together in a mixing bowl. Mash it all up with a fork until it is nice and creamy. I used my molcajete. I love that thing.
  • Season with salt to taste and set aside until ready to use.
