Caramelised Beef Burger
Serves 4
Ingredients
Caramlised onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, finely sliced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
Beef Patties
500g beef mince
⅓ cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 slices cheese
Hamburgers
4 hamburger buns
2 tablespoons tomato chutney or ketchup
4 leaves lettuce
1 tomato, sliced
75g sliced tinned beetroot
Method
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 170°C. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof pan over medium heat. Add the onions, salt and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes, or until soft and caramelised, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape into patties.
Step 3: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same frypan. Add the patties and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden. Place a slice of cheese over each patty and transfer to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 4: To assemble, spread tomato chutney (or ketchup) over the burger base, followed by the lettuce, beef patty, caramelised onions, tomato and beetroot.
