A homemade Grill'd-style beef burger with salad and herb mayo

Ingredients

Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.

  • 300 g beef mince (not too lean)
  • 2 traditional or panini burger buns
  • 2 slices aged cheddar
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 4 cos lettuce leaves
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • Herb mayonnaise: ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley and dill, a squeeze of lemon juice
  • Salt and cracked pepper

Method

  1. Mix the herb mayonnaise and chill. Form the mince into 2 thick patties, season well, and rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the patties in a hot pan or on a barbecue for 3–4 minutes per side, adding the cheese for the final minute.
  3. Toast the buns until just golden.
  4. Spread herb mayonnaise on both bun halves, then layer lettuce, tomato, onion and the cheesy patty.
  5. Rest 2 minutes before serving so the juices settle.
