Beef Burgers

Ingredients

  • 1 slice bread, crusts removed
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 500 g finely minced beef
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 spring onions, very finely chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing
  • 4 slices burger cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • A handful shredded lettuce
  • 1 beef tomato, sliced

For the burger sauce:

  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 shallot, finely sliced
  • Few drops Tabasco
  • 1 tsp chopped capers (optional)
  • Salt & pepper

How to preprare

  1. Mix ketchup, mayo, shallot, Tabasco, capers (if using), and seasoning to make the burger sauce.
  2. Soak bread in milk, squeeze out excess, then combine with beef, garlic, mustard, spring onion, egg, salt, and pepper.
  3. Divide into 4 equal balls and shape into patties (~15 mm thick).
  4. Preheat your grill (broiler) to high. Brush patties lightly with oil, season, and grill 4–5 mins per side, until golden and cooked through.
  5. Place cheese slices on top, grill for 1 more min until melted, then rest briefly.
  6. Toast buns under the grill until golden.
  7. Build burgers: spread sauce on base bun, add patty, then lettuce, tomato, and gherkins.

Note

Swap half the beef for lean turkey mince and serve with sweet potato fries for a lighter, higher-fibre option.
