I decided to make my own burger patties after watching an Ad on TV. So I searched the Internet for recipes and combined ideas from each and here is the result.
Ingredients:
- Ground (minced) beef : 500 gms
- Egg -1
- Garlic cloves - 3, finely chopped
- Onion - 1/2 finely chopped
- Green chilli - 3 finely chopped. (You can remove the seeds if you don't like too much heat)
- Mint leaves - 2 strands, finely chop the leaves alone
- Bread crumbs - made from 1 slice of bread, recipe here
- Salt - 1 1/2 tsp
- Black pepper powder - 1 tsp
- Sun dried tomato in oil - 1 finely chopped (optional)
Steps:
- Beat egg with salt and pepper.
- Add rest of the ingredients and combine well. Punch, squeeze and run your fingers through the mixture till the meat is smooth and combined.
- Take a handful of the mixture, make a ball and then flatten it. Make a small depression in the middle, not too deep tough just a little with your thumb. This will make sure that the patties stay flat when its cooking.
- Keep the patties on a separate piece of parchment paper or aluminium foil. It will be easy to flip them on to the grill.
- Light the grill and when it reaches 400 F, spray oil on the grill and place the patties and close the grill.
- Cook for 10- 12 mins closed. Then flip them, close and cook again for another 10 to 12 mins.
- If you like cheese, place a slice of your favourite cheese on top and close. Turn off heat. Open after a minute.
- Your done. Use condiments and topping of your choice.
For those without a grill, use a flat pan or a grill pan to make it on the stove top.
Condiments and topping suggestions:
- Lettuce
- Tomato slice
- Mayonnaise
- Mustard
- Tomato ketchup
- Hot sauce
