Ingredients
1 pound ground sirloin
1 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons paprika
2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
Handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

Directions

Form 4 large patties and make a indentation in the center of each burger to counteract the burger bulge that happens as the meat cooks. Cook burgers 6 minutes on each side, turning once. Heat a small pot over medium heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it. Add onions and peppers, cook 8 to 10 minutes then add salt, pepper, vinegar and brown sugar. Stir 1 minute, add tomato sauce and reduce heat to low. Simmer 5 minutes.
