Welcome to the cooking class with Chef Alfonso and Chef Stephanie.

Chef Stephanie mentions using half a pound of lean ground beef for two burgers.

She seasons the ground beef with a teaspoon of onion powder, a teaspoon of cumin, and black pepper, but no salt.

Chef Stephanie mixes the beef with her hands and mentions she likes her burgers medium rare, but you can cook them to 160-165 degrees if preferred.

She prepares to make the chimichurri sauce using 3 cloves of garlic, smashing them to remove the papery skin.

Chef Stephanie discusses using a blender (specifically a bullet blender) for the chimichurri sauce.

She adds the garlic to the blender along with fresh parsley, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes.

Chef Stephanie sprays the grill with cooking spray and preheats it until it's smoking hot.

She places the burger patties on the grill, mentioning the sizzle sound is what you want to hear.
