Smashed Pattie Burgers
Recipe by Brent Draper
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
500 g beef mince
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 slices cheese (cheddar or American-style)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Pickles, sliced
4 tbs Coles burger sauce
4 burger buns, halved
Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
Method
In a bowl, combine the mince with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mince into four even portions and roll into balls. Flatten slightly to form burger patties.
Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface and add the burger patties. Press each patty down firmly to smash them slightly, ensuring good contact with the heat. Cook until a golden crust forms, then flip the patties.
Place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt as the burgers finish cooking. Slice the brioche buns in half and lightly toast them in the pan or on the grill.
To build the burgers, spread an even layer of burger sauce on the base of each bun. Add pickles and red onion slices, then top with the cheese-covered patties. Place the bun tops on and serve immediately.
