Directions
- Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, paste, water and sugar, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the burgers in a large bowl, and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 4 equal patties.
- Preheat your grill to high heat (400-450°F). Place a cast iron skillet over direct heat, and allow to preheat for 10-12 minutes.
- Add a drizzle of avocado oil, and cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, to an internal temperature of 160°F (at minimum). Allow the burgers to rest for 5-6 minutes.
- Brush some of the sauce on the bottom of the bun, and top it with one of the patties. Brush on more sauce, the top bun, and slather the sauce all over the outside of the bun. Wrap in parchment and allow the burger to sit for 2-3 minutes to absorb the sauce.
- Serve immediately.
