This burger recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. Our mouths are watering, and yours will be too! We look at taking a quality game outdoors.
Total time: 1 hour
Make the Burgers
Our patties are homemade. *Secret tip: the patty consists of 50% beef brisket and 50% chuck steak, coarsely ground and then refrigerated to keep the shape. There are no other ingredients at all!
Place your patties on a flat surface; we like baking paper for ease of transferring to the BBQ grill. Load them up with freshly ground salt and pepper to help form a nice crust.
Prepare the Charcoal
Grill the Buns
We use a light, but not sweet brioche bun, which doesn’t overpower the burger. Lightly grill the buns to give them a little crunch.
Load the Lettuce
Get the Burgers Cooking!
Preparing the patties on baking paper allows for easy transfer to the grill. Make sure the grill mesh is nice and hot then flip them on and season the top side with salt and pepper. By cooking on a pre-heated grill surface there is less chance of food sticking to the grill.
Cook the Burgers to Taste
Add Cheese
Flip the patty once again and place your favourite cheese slices on each patty.
Slice Fresh Tomato
A few juicy fresh tomato slices work superbly with the lettuce. This burger recipe is simple, but so tasty.
Check It’s Ready
Lid up to check they are ready to go. This charcoal BBQ has a lever to adjust the height of the charcoal bed. At this stage we lower it to the lowest setting. With the charcoal low and the lid on we can melt the cheese without burning or overcooking the burger.
Plate Up
Carefully take the patties from the grill and place them on your lettuce, while you’re stacking the rest of your burger up, optionally give the bun lids a warm up on the grill, but be sure to keep a close eye on them.
Sauce Up and Enjoy
With your burger loaded up and your favourite burger sauce applied, finish the masterpiece off with the toasted bun.
Burgers are better with beer. We grabbed an excellent ale from our local brewer. So good!
