Ingredients

Courgette Wedges

  • 3 courgettes
  • 1 sachet polenta mix

Wagyu Beef Burger

  • ½ pottle onion and garlic paste
  • 1 pack wagyu beef mince
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 brioche buns
  • 1 baby cos
  • 2 tomatoes

To Serve

  • 1 pottle cheese sauce

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to medium high (if using). Cut courgettes in half width ways, then into 1.5cm wedges. Toss on first prepared tray with a drizzle of oil and polenta mix to coat well. Bake (on second highest rack) for about 18 minutes, until crunchy. Turn once to ensure even cooking.
  2. While courgettes cook, combine onion and garlic paste, wagyu beef mince and salt and pepper in a bowl. Divide mixture into 6 portions, roll into large balls then flatten into patties, about 1cm-thick.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Cook wagyu beef patties for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden brown and cooked through. If patties start to colour too quickly, reduce heat.
  4. Slice brioche buns in half horizontally, place on second prepared tray and warm in oven for 3-4 minutes. While buns are warming; separate lettuce leaves and thinly slice tomatoes. Place all onto a platter.
  5. To serve, place a lettuce leaf and sliced tomato on bottom half of each bun, top with a wagyu beef patty, drizzle with a generous amount of cheese sauce and finish with top of bun. Serve courgette wedges on the side.
