Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 4 pieces brioche burger buns
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1.5 tbsp harissa paste
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomatoes
• 4 rings sliced red onions

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 1/2-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the patties in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare the harissa mayo by mixing the mayonnaise and harissa paste in a small bowl until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Toast the brioche buns lightly in the skillet or under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous layer of harissa mayo on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, a tomato slice, and a red onion ring. Top with the remaining bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately alongside your favorite side dishes like fries or a fresh salad.
