Ingredients
- 800g high quality grass fed beef mince (high fat percentage)
- 1 large Spanish onion
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1 large egg
- 50ml milk
- 100g panko breadcrumbs
- 250g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 25ml beer
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 25g Dijon mustard
- 4 dill pickles
- 4 brioche buns
Pressing the patties:
1 Place greaseproof paper on a designated raw meat board.
2 Lightly spray/rub oil on the sheet.
3 Place a 100g patty of mince on one side of the sheet and fold the other
half on top of the patty.
4 Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten until even, thin and round, (approximately 12cm in diameter and 0.5cm thick).
5 Refrigerate after pressing, if not using straight away. Repeat eight times.
Cooking the patties:
1 Ensure that your barbecue is clean and very hot.
2 Season the patty with a little salt and pepper on both sides.
3 Cook the patty for four minutes each side (until the juices run clear).
4 If you are using a food probe, make sure the centre of the patty reaches 75 degrees Celsius for at least two minutes.
5 Make sure you wash your hands after handling raw meat.
Onions and sauce: 1 For the onion rings, cut the onion into large rings and separate the layers. Coat the onions in flour, then in a mix of egg and milk (1 egg mixed with 10ml milk) and then coat in panko breadcrumbs. Fry at 180 degrees for three minutes until golden and crispy.
2 For the cheese sauce, on a low heat, melt the cheese with the remaining milk and add the beer and Worcestershire sauce and a dash of salt and pepper. Stir until melted and creamy.
To assemble:
1 Lightly toast the buns, under a grill, or on your barbecue, and keep them warm.
2 Place Dijon mustard and sliced pickles on the base bun.
3 Stack two patties with onion rings and cheese sauce on top. Add the top bun
