Serves: 4
Ingredients:
Patty:
-
1kg beef mince
-
1 tsp salt
-
2 tsp Dijon mustard
-
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
¼ tsp pepper
Mayo:
-
3/4 cup mayonnaise
-
1 tbsp tomato sauce
-
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
2 tsp American mustard
-
2 tbsp gherkins, finely chopped
-
2 tsp Gherkin pickled liquid
-
1 tbsp Spanish onion, finely chopped
-
1 tsp sugar
-
1 tsp salt
Burger:
-
4 burger buns, sliced in half
-
10g butter
-
½ Oak lettuce or any other lettuce of your preference, picked and washed
-
6 gherkins or cornichons, finely sliced
-
8 slices yellow cheddar cheese
-
1 brown onion, finely sliced
-
150-200g streaky bacon
-
Chips to serve (optional)
Method:
-
For the patties: place all the ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Gently massage, mixing together, until well combined. Roll the mixture into 100g balls and set aside on a tray.
-
For the May: Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.
-
Place a large frying pan or a flat grill over high heat. Cook the bacon for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown in both sides. Remove from the pan and roughly chop it into pieces.
-
In the same pan, reduce heat to meating, then add the onions with a dash of oil. Cook, stirring, until golden brown and soft. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
On the same pan, drizzle some olive oil and place one mince ball. Using a burger smasher or a spatula to help you, firmly press down the patty until ½ cm thick, cook for 2 minutes on each side until browned. (Place a piece of baking paper in between the press and the patty for ease).
-
Place the cheese on top and scatter some of the onions. Repeat with the next patty and place it on top of the first one (2 patties per burger).
-
Heat up the burger buns by adding some butter to the pan and facing the buns with the inside down for 30 seconds until golden brown.
-
Build your burgers by spreading 1 tbsp of sauce in both sides of the buns, follow with lettuce on the bottom, burger patties, chopped bacon, sliced pickles and finish with the bun top.
-
Serve with hot chips if desired. Enjoy.
