11. Australian BBQ Best Burger Down-Under Recipe 2

Equipment

  • Grill or barbecue: Used for grilling the beef patties and onions.
  • Mixing bowl: Used for combining the ground beef with other ingredients.
  • Grill brush: Used for brushing the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Spatula: Used for flipping the beef patties on the grill.
  • Knife: Used for slicing the onions, tomatoes, and pickles.
  • Cutting board: Used for preparing and slicing the vegetables.
  • Serving platter: Used for presenting the assembled burgers.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 8 slices cheese such as cheddar or American
  • 2 onions large, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes large, sliced
  • 8 lettuce leaves
  • 8 burger buns
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 splash olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs dried
  • 2 dill pickles thinly sliced
  • 2 egg lightly beaten large
  • black cracked pepper to season
  • sea salt to season

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, lightly beaten eggs, dried breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black cracked pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.
  • Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a splash of extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Place the beef patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  • While the patties are cooking, place the sliced onions on the grill and cook until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
  • Assemble the burgers by placing a slice of cheese on each patty and allowing it to melt slightly.
  • Slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill.
  • To assemble the burger, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a beef patty with melted cheese, grilled onions, sliced tomatoes, and dill pickle slices.
  • Add condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise if desired.
  • Place the top bun on the assembled burger.
  • Serve the Australian BBQ Best Burger Down-Under Recipe immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Preheat the grill or barbecue before placing the patties to ensure even cooking.
Make an indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Use a spatula to gently press down on the patties while grilling to ensure they cook evenly.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill to add a delicious crispness.
Add a slice of cheese on top of the patty while it's still on the grill to allow it to melt slightly.
Let the cooked patties rest for a few minutes before assembling the burgers to allow the juices to redistribute.
