Ingredients
- 500g lean minced beef, steak meat
- 1 clove Garlic, crushed
- 1 handful Parsley, finely chopped
- 1 sprig Rosemary, leaves only, chopped
- 1 Egg, yolk only
- 50g Parmesan, grated
- 1 tsp grated Nutmeg
- 1 pinch dried dried red chilli flakes
To serve
- 1 red Onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 Tomatoes, sliced
- 1 Little Gem Lettuce
- burger buns
Method
1. For the burgers: mix all the ingredients together thoroughly in a mixing bowl.2. Flatten out of the mixture onto a board until you have a 3cm thick layer. Cut out burger shapes with a biscuit cutter (or a hollowed out old tuna tin). You will probably get 2-4 burgers depending on the size of your cutter.
3. Cook the burgers for 3-5 minutes on each side for a medium burger on a griddle pan, a little longer if you prefer it more well done.
4. Remove some leaves from the gem lettuce. Place the burger in a bun with some gem lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes and thinly sliced pieces of red onion.

Absolutely Gorgeous!! Will always cook burgers this way from now on.
Just a quick note:
In the programme, Aaron stated about cooking the burger pink/rare but according to the latest Food safety guidelines, any minced beef should be cooked thoroughly as the food poisoning bacteria present on the surface of the meat before mincing can end up in the middle afterwards. These bacteria would then not be killed by cooking if cooked rare. This is not a problem with a steak as these are mostly seared on the outside, even when cooked rare and thus the bacteria are killed.
