100% Beef – Belly Buster Burgers

Decided to post a recipe for one of the beef burgers I like to cook that I made up which I call my 100% Beef – Belly Buster Burger. Nothing but a few simple ingredients and 100% Beef Mince. These are about 1″ thick, because I like wholesome burgers and don’t have a proper burger press, although they would do nice inside of a meatball for spaghetti bolognese too

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Eggs (Normal supermarket sizes)
• 750G of Low-Fat Beef Mince (I use Asda’s less than 20% fat version)
• 2 TBSP Oregano
• 1 TBSP Sesame Seeds
• 1 TBSP Tomato Sauce (Heinz)
• 1 TBSP Worcester Sauce (Lea & Perrins)
• 1 Garlic Clove (Finely chopped)
• 1 Onion (Finely chopped)
• 2 Leek Stalks (Finely chopped)
• 1/2 – 1 Cup of Breadcrumbs (I used Paxo Golden)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

METHOD

1. Empty the Beef Mince packet into the bowl remove the thin paper
2. Add the finely chopped onion and leeks
3. Add all the other ingredients
4. Mix everything together with your hands insuring it’s evenly mixed
   1. If you find the mixture is a little “wet”, add a few more breadcrumbs
   2. The mixture should be moist, but shouldn’t leave residue on hands
5. Add to a Grill (Medium Temp) or BBQ and cook for desired time until desired consistency reached. I like mine brown all the way through, and it takes about 15 mins. Normally I just cut them with a knife and check before I serve them
6. Serve in a white bun, add whatever garnish. Normally I use a few pieces of lettuce, and some grated or sliced red Leicester cheese as it brings out the flavouring. I then add some tomato sauce

These burgers are about 1″ thick. You can make them thinner if desired.The recipe will make approx 6 x 1″ thick burgers. If you’d like to make the burgers a bit more juicier, you can add in a mixture of pork mince. This makes them juicier

Enjoy!
