Spicy Garlic and Herb Grass Fed Burgers: The Best Way to Use Up Summer Herbs

A plate of spicy garlic and herb burgers with grilled onions.

by Courtney Meyerhofer

The herbs in my garden are out of control. They’re really taking over the place, and I needed something to put them in.

Enter summer garlic herb burgers.

Then my husband said “make them spicy”.

So I did. And wow, I did not regret it.

Even before cooking, the patties smelled amazing with the herbs, garlic, and jalapeno.

The best way to serve this? On a hamburger bun with some fresh mayo and garden veggies on the side.

This is a savory, juicy, garlic and herby spicy burger. It’s a lot of flavor for a little effort.

Don’t sleep on this one. You’ll be glad you tried it.

Loading up my burger with all the fixins.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lb Saint John’s organic, grass fed ground beef

  • 2 jalapenos, minced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ cup summer herbs (parsley, thyme, basil, tarragon, oregano), minced

METHOD

Mix all ingredients together and shape into 8 ¼ lb patties.

Preheat a grill on high heat.

Cook for 3-6 minutes each side. 4 minutes each side yielded a medium-done burger for us.

Serve with summer tomatoes, zucchini, and grilled onions.

Enjoy!
