Before we start. You need to use the best quality beef mince you can find. DO NOT use bog-standard supermarket mince. At the very least buy there Finest/Extra special steak mince. Preferably get the mince from a good quality butcher.
You will need....- 250g of good quality beef mince, with a good amount of fat in it.
- 1 Slice of sh*t cheese. The sh*tter the better.
- 1 Good quality burger bun. I like the brioche type
- A pinch of good quality Salt. I use Maldon
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Tomato Ketchup
- Oil for cooking.. (NOT NANODRIVE 5W40)
- American style mustard
- 2x 8" squares of Baking paper
DirectionsPREPWeigh out about 250g of beef...
Put it in a bowl and add some salt and pepper. Put in quite a bit of salt. The more the better :-)
Mix it carefully. Dont work it too much otherwise it will go a funny texture.
Roll it into a ball on top of a square of baking paper
Place the other sheet on top.
Press it down to form the burger shape. It should be about 2cm thick, maybe just a little more.
Press your thumb gently in the middle just to make a dent to help cooking.
COOKINGHeat up a heavy frying pan. And add a few drops of oil.
Put the burger in.
Cook it for about 3mins.
Flip the son of a gun...
Put the sh*t cheese on to the cooked side and cook for another 3 mins.
Turn the heat off and if you can, place a lid on.
ASSEMBLYWhist the burger is resting in the frying pan. Cut the bun in half and put some ketchup on the top and some mustard on the bottom.
Put the burger in the bun...
Eat the f*ck out of it.
