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
- Empty the Beef Mince packet into the bowl remove the thin paper
- Add the finely chopped onion and leeks
- Add all the other ingredients
- Mix everything together with your hands insuring it’s evenly mixed
- If you find the mixture is a little “wet”, add a few more breadcrumbs
- The mixture should be moist, but shouldn’t leave residue on hands
- 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
- 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!
