Ingredients
30g butter
1 small onion, finely sliced
1lb steak mince
4 slices cheddar
4 burger buns
Salt and pepper
150g iceberg lettuce, finely sliced
1 large beef tomato, sliced
For the burger sauce
5 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp pickle juice
Method
To make the burgers, divide the mince into four equally sized balls.
Lay a sheet of parchment paper down and space them well apart on it.
Lay another sheet of parchment paper over the mince balls and use a large dinner place to press down on each one.
This will leave nice thin burger patties.
Season both sides with salt and a little pepper.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the burgers, two at a time in a hot pan.
Add the onion to a corner of the pan to cook along-side the burgers. They will cook very quickly, just 3-4 minutes on each side.
Add the cheese just before you take them off the pan. Placing a large saucepan lid over the pan will help melt the cheese quickly.
To make the burger sauce, mix all 4 ingredients together.
Toast the burger buns and spread the inside with burger sauce.
Assemble the burger with fried onions, iceberg lettuce, a burger patty and a slice of tomato.
Enjoy with chips or wedges.
