Garlic Butter Burgers

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic

1/2 shallot, chopped

3 tbsp fresh parsley

salt and pepper

1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck (80/20)

1 1/2 tbsp canola oil

4 hamburger buns

In a food processor, combine butter, garlic, shallot, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape into some plastic wrap. Roll it up into a log. Refrigerate the butter mixture for at least 30 minutes to marry the flavors.

Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties. Make a depression in the center with your thumb. Brush burgers with canola oil before placing on the grill.

Grill burgers over medium high to high heat for about 4-5 minutes, or until slightly charred and browned, then flip. Grill for another 4-5 minutes. If you like your burgers really well done, then add a few minutes cooking time. As burgers are cooking, brush with melted garlic butter every 30 seconds.

Spread buns with more of the garlic butter and grill for a few minutes, or until golden brown. Top burgers with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments.
