Ingredients
- 250 g minced beef
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tbsp butter
- 2 slices cheese
- 2 pickled gherkin, sliced
- 2 iceberg lettuce leaves
- ¼ red onion, sliced
- ½ tbsp tomato sauce, low sugar
- ½ tbsp American mustard, low sugar
COOK MODE
Instructions
- Combine the beef mince with the egg and salt using your hands or a wooden spoon until well blended. Divide the mixture in half and shape to form two burger patties.
- Heat the butter in a large non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side. (They can also be grilled on a BBQ.) Add a slice of cheese to each burger towards the end of cooking, giving it enough time to melt over the pattie.
- Serve with the gherkin, lettuce and red onion as a side or use a large lettuce cup as a burger “bun” to hold the pattie, gherkin and red onion. Serve with tomato sauce and mustard.
