Ingredients

The burger mix…

This is the most important part for flavour! Ask your butcher for the following mix:

• 35% rump steak
• 35% chuck
• 30% fat

Nick's burger sauce…

This is top secret. Tell no-one.

• 1/2 cup of mayo
• 2 tbsp French dressing
• 4 tsp sweet pickle relish
• 1 tbsp finely minced white onion
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1/8 tsp salt

Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Place the sauce in a covered container and refrigerate for several hours.

And the rest…

• Brioche bun
• Buffalo tomatoes
• Iceberg lettuce
• Red onion
• Cheese of your choice

Method

• Fire up the BBQ / Grill
• Chop the tomatoes, lettuce and onion
• Using your hands, shape the burger mix into equal sized patties
• Place the burgers on the barbecue for 8-10 minutes, flipping once. (If using the grill, cook for 15 minutes, flipping once)
• Lightly toast the brioche buns
• Season the burgers with salt
• Melt cheese slice on burger
• Build the burger with the bun, tomato, lettuce and onion. Don't forget the burger sauce!
• You are a burger hero! Bathe in the glory.
