Smashed burgers cook really quickly, so they're great if you're in a rush! Great with wedges or fries.
Ingredients
Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 10 minutesServes: 4
30g butter
1 small onion sliced finely
1lb steak mince
4 slices of red cheddar cheese
4 burger buns toasted
Salt and pepper
150g iceberg lettuce sliced finely
1 large beef tomato sliced
Burger sauce
5 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp pickle juice
Method
To make the burgers, divide the mince into four equally sized balls.
Lay a sheet of parchment paper down and space them well apart on it.
Lay another sheet of parchment paper over the mince balls and use a large dinner place to press down on each one.
This will leave nice thin burger patties.
Season both sides with salt and a little pepper.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the burgers two at a time in a hot pan.
Add the onion to a corner to cook along-side the burgers.
They will cook very quickly, 3-4 minutes on each side.
Add the cheese just before you take them off the pan, placing a large saucepan lid over the pan will help melt the cheese quickly.
To make the burger sauce mix all ingredients together.
Toast the burger buns and coat in burger sauce.
Assemble the burger with fried onions, iceberg lettuce, a burger patty and a slice of tomato.
Enjoy with chips or wedges.
