Knife-And-Fork Burgers With Provolone Dipping Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef
2/3 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups provolone cheese, shredded
salt and pepper

Preparation

Combine the ground beef, parsley and garlic and form into 6 patties, pressing your thumb into the center of each burger to prevent it from bulging when cooking.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat and cook the burgers for 5 minutes on each side.
While the burgers cook, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the provolone and, using a wooden spoon, stir in a figure-eight motion until combined; season with salt and pepper.
Serve each burger with a small bowl of cheese sauce for dipping.
