Combine the mango, peeled shallot, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper in a food processor and pulse until finely diced. Refrigerated until serving. To make the patties, combine the ground chuck, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper. Mix all together using your hands. Divide the mixed ground beef into 6 equal parts and form patties.
