So with it being Valentine's Day last week, my boyfriend and I decided that instead of going out for some expensive meal it would be much more fun to stay in and cook our favourite thing - Burgers. It was a no brainer!
I worry that a meal you often eat out will be hard to make from scratch at home but these really weren't! They barely take any time at all, in fact they were so quick to make that we had a sudden rush to get all the buns and extras ready before the burgers went cold. And if you want chips with them make sure you get those in the oven early too - oops!
We didn't have an actual recipe for these, just things we'd picked up from other people and instinct really.
You will need:
rump steak (300-400g makes about 4 burgers depending on how thick you like them)
seasoning
buns
mayonnaise, onions, cheese, bacon etc.
1. Mince the steak in a food processor (don't over mince it).
2. Season and shape into burgers (I borrowed a burger press off my dad - who knew these existed!)
3. Get a small amount of oil hot in a frying pan and fry burgers for a few minutes each side depending on how rare you like them. Or use a grill if you have one.
4. Prepare buns and toppings.
5. Pop in your burger and voila!
There were a few things that could have been perfected - maybe the burgers were a little over cooked and could have been less thick but hey, practice makes perfect and I am definitely looking forward to making many more of these. The only downside for doing them at home...all that washing up (oh how I dream for a dishwasher!)
