1

Prepare Beef Patties

10 min

In a large bowl, combine beef mince, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties.

💡 Tip: Do not overwork the meat to keep the patties tender.

2

Preheat Grill

5 min

Preheat your grill or griddle to medium-high heat.

5 min

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Set aside.

Brush the inside of the brioche buns with olive oil and toast them on the grill until golden.

5

Prepare Vegetables

5 min

Slice the tomato and onion, and wash the salad leaves.

6

Grill Beef Patties

8 min

Place the patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking.

7

Assemble Burgers

5 min

Spread sauce on the inside of each bun. Layer salad leaves, a beef patty, tomato, and onion on the bottom half of the bun. Top with the other half.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Use freshly ground beef for the best flavor.
  • Chill patties before cooking to help them hold their shape.
  • Do not press down on the patties while cooking to retain juices.
  • Rest patties for a minute before assembling to allow juices to redistribute.
  • Toast buns to prevent them from getting soggy.
