This Fire and Herb Steak Burger isn't your average backyard bite. Juicy steak takes center stage, topped with vibrant chimichurri and finished with a sweet-and-spicy peach habanero mayo that brings just the right amount of kick.
The fun part about this recipe, is that it's 3 in one and you can use any 3 parts to make more meals with! The steak pinwheel that we make the "meat" of the burger can also be served alone or paired with a side dish to complete a meal. The Peach Habanero Mayo can be used for sandwiches, wraps or other burgers you may love (like a smoked hamburger recipe)! Pair the chimichurri with Pork Loin Pinwheels, a New York Strip, lamb, or even topped over salmon or white fish like an Air Fryer Sea Bass.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat Charcoal Grill (looking for a temp around 400°F). Mix together Chimichurri Seasoning and Vinegar. Set aside for 30 minutes and then add in Olive Oil.
- Step 2: Prep Steak by patting it dry and seasoning both sides with Steak Seasoning.
- Step 3: Put minced garlic on top of the seasoning. Then, top with parmesan cheese and slices of provolone cheese.
- Step 4: Roll the steak into a pinwheel and tie with butchers twine.
- Step 5: Cut peaches in half and remove seed. Place peaches, habaneros and the steak pinwheel all on the grill. Note: Move charcoal to one side of the grill to create heat zones. Peaches and Habaneros go closer to the coals while placing the steak on the "cooler" side away from the coals.
- Step 6: Remove peaches and habanero once they soften, flipping them mid way through. Place them in the fridge to cool.
- Step 7: Once steak has reached a temp of 125°F, move the steak pinwheel to the hot side and sear it over the coals. Rotate it to sear all sides. Then, remove it from the grill and let it rest.
- Step 8: Prep for Mayo by removing the skin from peaches and removing the seeds and stem from habaneros.
- Step 9: In a blender or food processor, puree the mayo, habaneros, peaches, lime juice and minced garlic.
- Step 10: Remove butchers twine from steak pinwheel and slice into 1.5 inch steak patties. Place mayo on bottom bun, then steak, followed by chimichurri and a top bun.
Equipment and Supplies
- Charcoal Grill
- Food Processor - This is a 3 in 1 system for chopping, pureeing, blending and smoothie making. Any food processor or blender will work, but this one is my go-to!
- Butchers Twine
- Cheese Grater - I love my kitchen aid grater! It's easy to clean and comes with a measuring cup. Win win!
- Meater - Meat thermometers that can handle the high temps and Bluetooths right to your phone for easy monitoring.
Storage
Peach Habanero Mayo - Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Even though your store bought mayo lasts 3+ months, we've added fruits and veggies to this. So don't push the limit!
Steak Pinwheel - Good for 3-4 days. Allow it to cool before storing in an airtight container. Must be refrigerated within 2 hours from cooking.
Chimichurri - Once the seasoning is mixed with garlic, vinegar and oil, use within 3-4 days. Store in the refrigerator.
