Ingredients
1 ½ pounds ground beef, preferably sirloin
Salt to taste, if desired
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
4 tablespoons butter at room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Preparation
- Step 1
Put meat into a mixing bowl and add salt, pepper and mustard. Blend well, using your fingers. Divide mixture into four portions and shape each into a patty.
- Step 2
Combine shallots and wine in a small saucepan. Cook over moderately high heat about 3 minutes or until the wine is almost evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool briefly. Add garlic, butter and parsley and blend well.
- Step 3
Burgers may be broiled or cooked in a hot skillet. If they are to be broiled, preheat the broiler to high. Place burgers on a rack and place them under broiler about two or three inches from the source of heat. Cook about 5 minutes, turning burgers occasionally. If burgers are to be cooked in a skillet, heat the skillet, preferably a cast-iron one, until very hot. Brush it lightly with oil. Add burgers and cook about 2 minutes on one side. Turn and cook about 3 minutes longer, turning them occasionally.
- Step 4
Smear top of each burger immediately with herb butter and serve.

Follow the timing! Twice it was overdone.
Followed the recipe except...used a top sirloin steak cut into thick strips instead of ground into burger. Most delicious!
Easy and delicious!
