Wagyu Cheeseburger With Caramelised Onion & Garlic Mayo

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries

Add the fries to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of pepper and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 25 min or until crisp and golden

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion with 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar, half your balsamic vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) and a large splash of water

Cook the onions for 8-10 min or until they have softened and caramelised

While the onions are cooking, slice your cheddar

Combine your mayo with most of your roasted garlic paste (save a little for a garnish!) in a small bowl with a splash of water and a small pinch of salt and pepper – this is your garlic mayo

Wash your salad, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Reserve a handful of salad for later

Transfer the remaining salad to a bowl with the remaining balsamic vinegar and a little drizzle of olive oil – this is your balsamic rocket salad

Once caramelised, transfer the onion to a plate and reserve the pan – this is your caramelised onion

Wipe the reserved pan clean, then return it to a high heat

Once hot, add the wagyu burger patty[ies], press down firmly with a spatula and cook for 5-6 min or until lightly charred

Tip: Cooking for 5? Use 2 pans!

Once lightly charred, flip the patty[ies] and reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for a further 3-4 min or until browned on both sides

Once browned, top with the sliced cheese, cover with a lid and cook for a final 2 min or until the cheese has melted and the burger[s] is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your cheesy wagyu patty

Transfer the cheesy wagyu patty to a plate and set aside to rest for 2-3 min

While the patties are resting, slice your brioche bun[s] in half (if required!)

Once the fries have had an initial 25 min, add the brioche halves to the baking tray[s], cut side up, on top of the fries and return to the oven for 2-3 min or until warmed through
