½ cup olive oil
Cumin, salt, and pepper to taste

Chop parsley and garlic cloves. Put them in the food processor until they look fine. Add oregano, vinegar, and lemon juice. Pulse until incorporated. Slowly add the olive oil while the food processor is running to emulsify the sauce. Season to taste.

Season the meat with chimichurri, salt and pepper. Incorporate bread crumbs and make the patties putting a square of the Pepper Jack cheese in the middle. Cook in the grill for 2 minutes on 1 side and about 1 ½ minutes on the other side. Remove and cover with foil
