Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Chop your potatoes into chips and add them to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 30 min or until golden and crisp
Meanwhile, peel your red onion[s] and slice 1 round from them per person
Dice the remaining onion as finely as you can
Tip: Alternatively, pop the remaining onion into a mini food processor and blitz until finely chopped
Add the onion rounds to a separate tin foil-lined baking tray (or pop them on the tray with the chips if you have space!) and drizzle them with a little olive oil
Put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until softened and lightly golden
Add the finely chopped onion, lean beef mince, dried oregano, Henderson's Relish, beef stock mix and a good grind of black pepper to a bowl
Mix together for 1-2 min or until really well combined (clean hands is the best way!)
Divide the lean beef mince mixture into shape them into 1 patty per person
Cut 2 thin slices per person from your tomato[es] and set them aside for serving
Chop the remaining tomato roughly
Wash your lettuce, pat it dry with kitchen paper then remove 1 outer leaf[ves] per person and set aside until serving
Tear the remaining lettuce into rough, bite-sized pieces
Slice your cheddar cheese into 3 slices per person
Once the chips have been cooking for 20 min, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) over a high heat
Once hot, add the lean beef patty[ies] and press them down firmly with a spatula and cook for 5 min, reduce the heat to medium-high, flip the patties and cook for a further 2 min or until nicely browned
Mix the torn lettuce and roughly chopped tomato together – this is your salad
Top the lean beef patty[ies] with the cheese slices and cook, covered, for a further 3 min or until the cheese has melted and the patty[ies] is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Meanwhile, slice your brioche bun[s] in half (if required!) and put them in the oven for 2-3 min or until warmed through
To build your burger top the warmed brioche bun base with a squeeze of tomato ketchup, a reserved lettuce leaf, tomato slices, a cheesy lean beef patty, roasted onion round and the warmed brioche bun lid
Serve with the chips and salad to the side
