About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 beef patty
- 1 Pepper Jack cheese
- 1 pickled red onions
- 1 avocado
- 1 pickles
- 1 crème fraiche
- 1 sesame bun
- 1 rocket
- 1 Tajín seasoning
Chocolate Chili Sauce
- 1 70% dark chocolate
- 1 3/10 cup beef stock
- 2 Guajillo chilies
- 2 chipotle chilies
- 1 tsp garlic
- to taste salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 0.33 tsp onion granules
- 0.71 oz butter
Instructions
- 1Toast the dried Guajillo and chipotle chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 2Transfer the toasted chilies to a bowl and soak them in the beef stock for 15 minutes.
- 3Combine the soaked chilies with garlic, salt, cumin, paprika, onion granules, and butter in a blender; blend until smooth.
- 4Pass the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
- 5Reduce the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the volume decreases by roughly one‑third, about 5–7 minutes.
- 6Remove the pan from the heat, add the 70% dark chocolate, and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
- 7Season the beef patty with salt, then sear one side in a hot skillet for 3–4 minutes, flip and sear the other side to desired doneness (medium‑rare recommended).
- 8Spread a generous layer of the chocolate‑chili sauce on the cooked patty, top with Pepper Jack cheese, and sprinkle with Tajín seasoning; allow the cheese to melt briefly.
- 9Remove the patty from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes.
- 10Assemble the burger: place the bottom sesame bun, spread crème fraiche, add pickles, sliced avocado, pickled red onions, and arugula; top with the sauced patty and finish with the top bun.
Helpful tips while cooking
AI-assisted notes grounded in this recipe's ingredients, timings, and method—not additional creator instructions.
Toast before soaking
Toast the dried chilies first, then soak them in beef stock to rehydrate before blending.
Blend and sieve
After blending the chilies with aromatics, push the mixture through a fine‑mesh sieve to extract maximum liquid.
Reduce to one‑third
Simmer the sauce until its volume decreases by roughly one‑third, about 5–7 minutes.
Rest the patty
Let the cooked beef patty rest for 2 minutes before adding the sauce and assembling the burger.
