"All the flavors of an Argentine asado in one package. [Photograph: Vicky Wasik] Even if you've never been to a proper asado, the legendary grilling feast that takes place in the mountains of South America, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy those flavors at home. It doesn't even mean you can't squeeze those flavors between two pieces of bread and transform them into a miraculous cheeseburger. Because you can, and this is the result: a juicy burger patty topped with a griddled slab of provolone cheese (known as provoleta in Argentina) and spoonfuls of tart, garlicky chimichurri sauce. All the flavors of an Argentine cookout, between slices of bread. Why This Recipe Works * Handling the ground beef as little as possible, and seasoning it only after forming it into patties, ensures loose, juicy results. * Searing the provolone in a smoking hot skillet browns the outside before the cheese fully melts. * Pressing a dimple into each patty prevents it from seizing up into a ball when cooked...."
