Best Home Made Beef Burgers Recipes

HOME MADE BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat up the oil in a frying pan and add the diced onions.
• Reduce down the heat and let the onions sweat slowly, adding in the garlic to ensure it doesn't burn and become bitter.
• Add the beef to a mixing bowl and break up with your fingers.
• Tip in the onions and garlic, once cooled slightly and mix together thoroughly.
• Add salt and pepper and the dijon mustard.
• Pour in the egg and ensure that it has been mixed right the way through the beef and onions.
• Seperate the mixture into 4 portions and start moulding using your hands into burgers. Create a depression in the centre, this will ensure the burgers cook evenly and flat. Place in the fridge to chilled and stiffen.
• Once chilled and with the barbeque lit and the coals simmered down, place the burgers on the BBQ.
• Ensure that each side has sealed, if not they'll fall apart when you lift them off. Turn them over until cooked through or to the desired pinkness in the centre.
• Serve on crusty ciabatta with fresh watercress or leafy salad and enjoy. These can be frozen and defrosted for use later on.

HOME MADE BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• First, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and using your hands, shape into four balls.
• Turn the heat to medium under a heavy based frying pan and add a tiny amount of oil. When pan is hot, add the burgers, pushing them flat with a spatula.
• Cook for about 5 minutes each side for medium, longer for well done.
• Just before the burgers are ready, toast the inside of 4 wholemeal buns under a grill or in a toaster.
• My preference for serving them is a little Mayo on the bottom of the bun, then the burger with thin slices of raw onion, lettuce leafs and a slice of tomato. Topped off with a dap of ketchup and a good helping of English mustard on the top half of the bread.
• But, the great thing about making home made burgers is, you can add what you want. I like to serve them with home made fries.
