Herbed Hamburgers with Arugula Recipe

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Serves 2.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

mayonnaise to taste

2 onion rolls or hamburger buns, split

2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

3/4 cup washed, spun dry, and chopped arugula

DIRECTIONS

In a bowl gently combine beef and thyme and form into two 3/4-inch-thick patties. In a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and reduce heat to moderate. Cook patties 3 1/2 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat and drain on paper towels.

Spread mayonnaise on insides of rolls and buns and make sandwiches with onion, arugula, and patties.
