Ingredients
Method

Ingredients

  • 150g beef mince (minimum 10% fat content)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 brioche bun cut in half and toasted
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon spiced tomato chutney
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1 handful shredded lettuce
  • 2 gherkin slices

  • Method

  • 1
    Mix the beef mince and salt together with your hands and shape into 2 balls.
  • 2
    Place the Toughened Non-Stick Frying Pan on the hob over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • 3
    Place one of the mince balls into the pan and push down with a burger press. Alternatively, place a piece of baking parchment on top of the mince ball and press down with the base of a pan or a potato masher. Repeat with the second mince ball.
  • 4
    Cook for 3 minutes or until the burgers start caramelising and browning, then turn over and press down again.
  • 5
    Place a slice of cheese on top of each burger whilst it is frying.
  • 6
    When the burgers are caramelised on both sides it is time to assemble them.
  • 7
    Spread the mayonnaise on the base and lid of the bun, followed by the shredded lettuce and one of the cooked burgers.
  • 8
    Spread the burger with the tomato chutney, followed by the second smash burger.
  • 9
    Top with tomato and gherkin slices.
  • 10
    Top with the brioche bun’s lid and enjoy.
 
Cooks Tip:
Ranch dressing may be substituted for mayonnaise, and any sliced cheese will work if Monterey Jack is not available.
To ensure the cheese is melted, place the lid of a Cast Iron 22cm Shallow Casserole over the burgers.
