Beef and Caramelized Red Onion Burgers
•
1lb of good quality minced beef
•
1 small red onion, finely chopped
•
1 tsp of brown sugar
•
1 tsp of dried mixed herbs
•
1 egg, beaten
•
Handful of coriander leaves, chopped
To serve: Bread rolls, cheese slices, sliced tomatoes, lettuce and ketchup
1. In a frying pan gently sauté the chopped red onion on a low/medium heat with the
olive oil and brown sugar for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
2. Work the mince together in a bowl with the caramelized onions and the beaten egg.
You want to combine the mixture so that all the ingredients are mixed but don't make
it too mushy and soft.
3. Stir in the chopped coriander and the dried herbs. Season to taste.
4. Take a handful of the mixture and form it into a burger shape. The mixture should
make about 4 burgers. The thicker they are, the longer they will take to cook through.
5. Lay each burger on a board that has been covered in cling film and then cover them.
6. Put them in the fridge to chill for approximately 1 hour. This will help them to maintain
their shape while cooking.
7. When you are ready to cook the burgers, place them onto the lightly oiled roasting
rack.
8. Cook for 15-20 minutes on the grill mode setting with your Air Fryer in the Level
position carefully turning them over half way through the cooking cycle.
Serve the burgers on the bread rolls with cheese, tomato, lettuce and ketchup.
