Beef Burgers With Beetroot And Carrot Slaw Recipes

CABBAGE AND BEET SLAW

Steps:

• Toss 1/2 thinly sliced small red onion with 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar; set aside 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon each grainy mustard and honey.

Let stand 20 minutes.

BEEF BURGERS WITH BEETROOT AND CARROT SLAW

Steps:

• To make the burgers, measure all the ingredients except the oil into a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands to combine. Shape into six fairly flat burgers. Place in the fridge until needed.
• To make the slaw, measure out the mayonnaise, mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, sugar and horseradish into a salad bowl, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the carrot, beetroot, celery, spring onion and parsley and stir until coated in the sauce.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan until piping hot. Fry the burgers for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and just cooked through.
• Griddle the flat side of the buns on the griddle pan until toasted, top with a burger, a slice of tomato, lettuce, gherkins and any sauces or chutney of your choice. Serve the slaw on the side.

PERFECT BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the ground beef evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
• Preheat a grill to high. Season the patties with salt and pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 3 to 5 more minutes; if desired, top each burger with 2 slices cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover with a disposable aluminum pan to melt.
• Serve the patties on the buns; top with lettuce and tomato.

BEET AND CARROT QUICK SLAW

BEET, MUSHROOM AND BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Grate beet on large holes of a grater.
• . In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the oil for cooking until well combined. Shape into 4 patties. I like to pile the mixture into a 3-inch ring and pull the ring away, then when I place the patties in the hot pan I press them down with the back of my spatula so they are about 1 inch thick.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil, just enough to coat pan. Cook patties for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and serve. You can use a bun or not (I think they are fine without). Baby arugula, mizuna or spicy micro-greens make a very nice accompaniment.
