Classic Beef Burger
Ingredients
- 4 burger buns, split
- 4 slices of swiss cheese
- 4 butter lettuce leaves
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- Sauce to serve, mustard, tomato, mayo
Beef Patty Ingredients
- 750 grams coarsely ground chuck beef
- 1 brown onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a bowl combine all the patty ingredients. Divide the mix into 4 portions
- Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten with the palm of your hands, so they are about 2 cm thick. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the centre of the patty. This helps to keep the patties a consistent thickness when cooking
- Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (210°C-250°C).
- Brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Grill the patties over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Once there is one minute left of the cook time, place a slice of cheese over each patty to melt. Toast the buns, for 1 minute per side.
- Build the burgers buns with a patty, tomato, pickles, lettuce and sauce.
