american classic burgers

How to make american classic burgers recipe - Using very lean meat can make the burger dry. A little fat keeps the meat juicy, basting it from within.

SERVES 4

PREP TIME 20 mins, plus chilling, COOK TIME 10 mins

Ingredients:
14oz (400g) good-quality ground beef
1⁄2 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
1 egg yolk
1⁄2 red onion, finely chopped
1⁄2 tsp dried mustard powder
1⁄2 tsp celery salt
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
freshly ground black pepper

To serve:
4 burger buns, halved
1 head lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes, thickly sliced
1 small red onion, finely sliced
1 pickle, finely sliced
1⁄4 cup No-cook spicy summer relish

Method:
1 Prepare a grill for cooking. In a large bowl, mix together all the burger ingredients until well combined.

2 With damp hands (to help stop the mixture sticking to your fingers), divide the mixture into 4 balls and roll each between your palms until smooth. Flatten each ball out into a large, fat disk to a thickness of 11⁄4in (3cm), and pat the edges in to tidy them up.

3 Place the burgers on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes (this will help them to keep their shape during cooking).

4 Cook over a hot grill for 6–8 minutes, turning as needed, until the meat is springy to the touch and the edges charred. While the hamburgers are grilling, grill the buns for 1–2 minutes on the insides only, until lightly charred. Serve the burgers and buns with a selection of accompaniments, and let everyone assemble their own burgers as they prefer.

How To Make beef and pepper burgers recipe - Each serving provides 359 calories, 22 g protein, 13 g fat (3 g saturated fat), 36 g carbohydrate (5 g sugars), 6 g fiber, 411 mg sodium

SERVES: 4

PREPARATION: 15 MINUTES, COOKING: 15 MINUTES

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 slice whole-grain bread
2 large carrots, finely grated
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 small red pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried oregano
2 tablespoons (30 ml) tomato purée
1/2 cup (50 g) rolled oats
1/2 pound (250 g) lean ground beef
1 tablespoon (15 ml) sunflower oil
4 burger buns
lettuce, tomato, arugula and onion, to serve

Method:
1 Preheat the broiler to medium–high. Line a broiler pan with foil. Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add the bread and turn it in the egg a couple of times. Add the carrots, scallions, pepper and garlic to the bowl, but don’t mix in.

2 Add the oregano and tomato purée, and stir to combine, breaking up the bread. Mix in the oats and ground beef, and use your hands to squeeze, knead and thoroughly bind all the ingredients together.

3 Divide the beef mixture into four and shape each portion into 4 inch (10 cm) burgers by first rolling into balls, then patting them flat. Place the burgers on the pan and brush with 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of oil. Grill for 7 minutes, or until sizzling and browned. Carefully turn using a large spatula, brush with the remaining oil and cook for another 7 minutes.

4 Split the buns and top with lettuce, a burger, some sliced tomato, arugula and a slice of onion.

OTHER IDEAS
+ Use pork or lamb instead of ground beef, although lamb has a higher fat content.
+ Try skinned venison sausages instead of ground beef for a richly flavored low-fat alternative.
