Description
Inspired by Robert L Wolke from What Einstein Told His Cook. I know what constitutes the perfect burger is really a personal thing. So please feel free to take this recipe and customize it.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250g (1/2lb) minced (ground) beef
- 1/2 bunch chives, finely chopped
- mayonnaise, preferably homemade
- mixed salad leaves
- 2 good quality hamburger buns, English muffins or pannini,
Instructions
- Place 1 scant teaspoon fine sea salt in a skillet or heavy based frying pan and shake to cover the base. Heat over a medium high heat for 3 minutes or until very hot.
- Meanwhile, combine beef and chives and season well with black pepper only. Form into 2 burger patties.
- Cook burgers for approx 3 minutes. Lift the burgers out of the pan, shake the pan to redistribute the salt to where the burgers were. Return burgers uncooked side down and sear for another 3 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
- Spread mayo on the insides of your bread. Place beef on the bottom half. Top with leaves and finally the top of the bun/muffin.
