I always get asked what the best beef burger patty is, so this week I thought I’d put two of the best to the test! Join me as I make these staples and find out which is my favourite! Recipe below. Smashburger Ingredients for 1 burger - 2 x 80g ball of mince beef 80/20 lean to fat ratio - 2 slices burger cheese - 1 milk bun - 1 tbsp mayonnaise - 1 tsp yellow mustard - 4 slices pickles - Small handful finely sliced iceberg lettuce - Few sliced (very thin) red onions - Softened butter for toasting the bun Method 1. Start with prepping everything so it's ready to go, all the veg sliced and sauces ready. 2. Slice your bun in half and butter both sides before toasting on a skillet or cast iron pan over a med heat. 3. Turn the skillet or cast iron to high and place your 2 beef balls on. 4. Place some parchment paper on top and press hard with a burger smasher or a pot. 5. Remove the paper and season the meat. 6. Once the meat is almost cooked through, scrape the patties up and flip, trying to get all the crispy brown pieces from the bottom. 7. Once flipped, add the cheese to the top and once melted stack one on top of the other. 8. Build the burger, starting with mayonnaise on the bottom bun and mustard on the top. 9. Next the lettuce and onions on the bottom then comes the meat and finally the pickles. 10. Bun lid on top and you're done! Steak House Burger Ingredients for 1 burger - 200g large beef patty, either grind your own or ask your butcher to fresh grind something for you - 1 sesame burger bun - 1 slice of Monterey jack cheese - Heaped tbsp caramelised onions - Butter for toasting your bun Method 1. Season the patty with salt and cook your patty over a grill on high for 8-10 minutes or until you reach the internal temp you desire (50°C for Medium Rare, 57°C for Medium and 60°C for Medium Well) 2. While the patty is cooking, butter and toast the bun. 3. Once the patty is almost cooked, place the cheese on top. 4. When the patty is cooked, remove it and let it rest for 4 minutes. 5. To assemble the burger, start with the toasted bun, add the onion to the top and meat with cheese to the bottom. 6. Place the top on the bottom and you are done! Recipe caramelised onions Ingredients - 3 brown onions, sliced thin - 1 tbsp butter - 1 tbsp olive oil - Salt to taste Method 1. In a medium saucepan heat the butter and oil over medium heat. 2. Once melted, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. 3. Sweat the onion down, stirring often until they have halved in size. 4. At this point, turn the temp to low and cook for 1 hour stirring every 10 - 15 minutes until soft and golden brown.
