    Homemade beef burgers

    Serves:

    Ingredients

    • 450g topside mince
    • 4 slices gouda cheese
    • 1 cos lettuce, washed and shredded
    • 4 crusty bread rolls
    • 100g cornichons, sliced in half

    Pink sauce

    • 60ml (1/4 cup) tomato sauce
    • 60ml (1/4 cup) mayonnaise
    • 40ml (2 tbsp) lemon juice
    • 20ml (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika

    Method

    Make the pink sauce first by placing all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Stir to combine and season to taste.

    Season the mince in a large bowl and, using your hands gently form into patties, about 2cm thick and 6cm in diameter. 

    Heat the barbecue to high. Cook patties for a couple of minutes on one side then turn over and place a slice of cheese on each patty and cook for another 2 minutes. Meanwhile, place the bread roll halves on the other side of the barbecue plate to toast lightly.

    Place some lettuce on each half bread roll, top with a patty, a few cornichon halves and a dollop of pink sauce.

    Close with the bread roll lids and hand around lots of napkins.

    Note

    • Be gentle and don’t ‘work’ the mince too much, as this can make the patties tough.
    • When ready to serve, you could put all of the fillings out for diners to build their own burgers..
    • You can serve these with shoestring fries for a delicious side dish.
