Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 225g–250g/8–9oz beef mince, 15% fat
  • 1 level tsp salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 brioche burger bun (cut side toasted)
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 gherkin, finely chopped
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped dill
  • 2 slices smoked streaky bacon, cooked
  • 1 slice mature cheddar
  • Little Gem lettuce
  • 1 slice beef tomato

Instruction

  • Tip the mince into a large bowl and break up with a fork. Add the salt and massage with your hands until the mixture is soft and the salt is well incorporated. Cover and leave to stand at room temperature for 25 minutes.
  • For the sauce, mix all the ingredients together. Set aside.
  • Divide the mince mixture into two equal portions and pat into two thin burgers approximately 12cm/4½in diameter. Use a small bowl or saucer as a guide if you want them to be really neat.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the burgers and cook for a minute on each side or until browned and cooked through.
  • Serve the burgers and sauce in the toasted bun with the toppings of your choice.
