Knife-and-Fork Burgers with Cheese Sauce

2 pound ground beef (I use sirloin)
Salt & Pepper
1-3 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cups chopped flat leaf parsley
3 cloves minced garlic
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine ground beef, parsley & garlic and form in 4 patties, pressing your thumb into the center of each burger to prevent it from bulging when it’s cooking.

In a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat to coat the pan. Once heated place burgers in skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until well done.

While the burgers are cooking, 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, 3-4 minutes. Add the provolone & mozzarella and using a wooden spoon, stir in a figure-eight motion until combined; season with salt and pepper.

Once the burgers are done spoon the cheese mix on top of them.
