Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 cup Arugula
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 4 pieces Red onion slices
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the seasoned beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Step 4

Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until the patties reach your desired doneness.

Step 5

While the patties cook, slice the brioche buns in half and spread butter lightly on the cut sides. Toast them on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and honey to create the Ambrosia Sauce. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of Ambrosia Sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer on arugula, a cooked beef patty with melted Swiss cheese, a tomato slice, a red onion slice, and a few pickled jalapeños. Top with the upper half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy the decadent flavors of Nepenthe's Famous Ambrosia Burger.
