The Perfect Beef Burger

Ingredients

  • 500g beef mince 
  • onion, finely chopped 
  • 1tsp English mustard 
  • 1tbsp oil, plus extra for rubbing 
  • burger buns 
  • 4 portions mayonnaise 
  • lettuce leaves 
  • thin slices beef tomato 
  • thin slices onion 
  • 4 portions tomato relish 

Method

  1. Mix the burger ingredients together in a bowl then divide the mixture into 4 balls and flatten into patties, or use our burger press. Put them in the fridge on a plate covered with clingfilm and leave for at least an hour to firm up.
  2. Heat the grill or griddle to medium heat. Rub a little oil over the burgers and grill or fry them on each side for 6-7 minutes or until cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, cut the bread buns in half and toast the insides. Spread a little mayonnaise on the bottom halves and add lettuce and slice of tomato to each.
  4. Place the cooked burgers on the tomato and top with onion, a dollop of relish and the bun tops.
