Beef Burgers

This is my go-to recipe for a classic burger. Best steak mince is combined with shallot, rosemary, thyme and Dijon to create a rich and satisfying burger which is great cooked on the grill.

Best served with browned onion, lettuce, dill pickles and spiced mayo on a brioche bun.

Rump and Bone Marrow Burger
Serves 4-6

Ingredients: 1kg Minced Beef Rump (Twice Minced), 85g Bone Marrow (Finely Diced), 2 1/2tsp Sea Salt, Cracked Black Pepper

–

Method:

1) Combine the minced rump with the bone marrow and sea salt. Gently fold the ingredients together with your hands being careful not to overwork.

2) Divide the mixture into 4 large or 6 small portions and gently press into patties.

3) Season each burger with cracked black pepper and grill in a grill pan or frying pan over a high heat for around 4 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking – ensuring a good crust is achieved. Once cooked remove from the pan and set aside to rest for a few minutes. You can then fry your brioche buns in the burger fat for a minute or so.

4) Serve the burgers on brioche buns with lettuce, sliced onion, tomato and homemade Dijonnaise.
