I like my burger lean and healthy and my skinny wife wolfed it all up. Simple home made tasty burger but it would not give you a Mac heart attack. Ingredients:
100 g lean ground beef |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon barbecue seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 dash ground nutmeg |
1 dash mixed italian herbs |
2 slices focaccia bread |
1 medium tomato |
1 medium white onion |
1/2 cup red wine |
Directions:
1. To save time and I am a person who doesn't like to wait around, this is order of things.
2. Mix the minced beef together with all condiments and herbs with italian herbs being last item.
3. Roll into a ball and press into a patty, roughly 12 cm in diameter ( 5 inches) and 1.5cm ( 1/2 inch) thick. Beef tends to shrink upon cooking so don't worry about being too big.
4. Store in fridge for 15 minutes. Wash hands. (You can store longer if you like).
5. In the meantime, slice up the onions and tomatoes, leave it in the fridge.
6. After the beef has been marinated 15 minutes, heat up skillet or non stick pan. (medium high).
7. Grill the patty in the skillet or fry in the pan.
8. Flip the patty every 1 min till browning occurs outside.
9. Remove the patty and leave it to rest.
10. Lower the fire and saute the sliced white onions, add 0.5 cup wine to deglaze and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
11. Saute about 2 minutes till onions slightly soften and caramelized.
12. Turn off the heat but leave the onions inside the skillet/pan.
13. Put 2 sliced tomatoes on the bottom bread and place the patty on top.
14. Scoop in the fried onions on the patty and top it up with another slice or two of tomato.
15. Cover with the top bread and serve with salad to up the health quotient.
