Instructions:

Make The Ras El Hanout Spice Blend

Toast the coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds in a dry sauté pan over medium heat until fragrant.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In batches, place toasted seeds in a coffee grinder. Grind into a powder.
Add remaining ingredients to a bowl and mix.
Add in the toasted seed powder and stir to combine.

Make The Cabbage & Mint Slaw

Mix the mayonnaise, grated garlic, sumac, cumin, paprika, za’atar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and jalapeño in a bowl.
Season with salt and pepper.
Dress the cabbage and carrots with the dressing.
Fold in the chopped mint.
Reserve until ready to assemble.

Form And Cook The Burgers

Mix the beef with the spice blend.
Form meat into 4 equal portions, then shape into patties, about ¼-inch thick.
Season with salt and pepper.
Sear in a cast iron pan over medium heat (or grill).
Once one side is cooked, flip and cover to steam in the pan.
Cook to an internal temperature of 160°F.
Remove from the heat.

Assemble The Burgers

Spread the softened butter on the top and bottom buns.
Toast the buns.
Place the burger on the toasted bun.
