Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

For the sauce
  • 5 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped shallot
For the burgers
  • 700 g steak mince
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 cheese slices
  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 lettuce leaves romaine
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato cut into 4 slices

Method
 

Mix the sauce ingredients together
  1. Measure the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish into a bowl. Add the shallot and mix together. Set aside for later.
Make the burger patties
  1. Add the mince to a bowl, then measure the seasoning: ¾ tsp garlic powder, ¾ tsp salt, ¾ tsp pepper.
  2. Using your hands, mix everything together then form 4 -6 patties of equal size (depending how big you want them). If you've got a burger press, use that otherwise just press them together using your hands. Press your thumb or use a spoon to make a small indent in the middle of each of the patties to make sure they don’t form a dome when you cook them.
Cook your patties
  1. Grill, fry or BBQ your burger patties on a medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Turn them once so they brown on each side.
  2. Add a slice of cheese on top of each burger for the last minute or so of cooking so it melts a bit.
Toast the buns.
    Build your burger buns
    1. Put your burgers together on the buns with the sauce, lettuce leaf, and tomato.
    2. Serve and enjoy!
