Naked Beef & Cheese Burgers with Avo & Beetroot
Ingredients
Carrots
- 3 carrots, cut into chips
- 1 tsp oil
Patties
- cheese, thinly sliced
- 500g lean beef mince
- smoked paprika
- garlic salt
- 2 Tbsp wholemeal breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp oil
To serve
- ½ avocado, thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 125g precooked or canned baby beetroot, thinly sliced
- 1 iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
- 4 Tbsp garlic aioli
Instructions
- Before you start, preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake)
- Prep carrot and toss on a lined oven tray with oil. Season with salt and roast for about25 minutes, until tender.
- Prep cheese and set aside. Combine all remaining patty ingredients together in a large bowl (except oil) with a pinch of salt and shape into four 1cm thick patties.
- Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes, then flip and top with cheese. Cook for a further 4-5minutes, until patties are cooked through and cheese has just melted on top (see tip).
- Prep avocado, tomato and beetroot. Separate lettuce into cups and set all aside for serving.
- Fill lettuce cups with tomato, avocado and beetroot. Top with aioli and a patty.
- Serve burgers with carrots on the side.
Notes
Tip
To make sure your cheese gets extra melty, place a lid over your burgers once you’ve put the cheese on.
