“We’re inspired by pop-up and market stall food culture in the UK. Burgers are our guilty pleasure and, like the British food scene, we have an appreciation for good ingredients. We use grass-fed British beef and a local bakery for our brioche buns. We enjoy turning the humble Beef Burger into something that has pride and place in a restaurant! We often serve this burger at events too!”

3BM Beef Burger

Ingredients

For The Burger Patty (Makes 2)
300g grass-fed British beef mince (use 150g per patty)
½ onion (diced)
1 garlic clove (minced)
Pinch of garlic powder
Pinch of onion powder
Pinch of smoked paprika
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1 egg
50g breadcrumbs

For The Burger Sauce
Aioli or Mayonnaise (store-bought)
Ketchup
Diced Pickles
Tabasco
Salt
Pepper

For The Chorizo Jam
500g chorizo (finely diced)
1 apple (finely diced)
180g sugar
500ml water

For The Caramelised Onions
3 tbsp butter or olive oil
1 onion (sliced)
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
Salt
Pepper

For The Burger
1 brioche bun
Aged cheddar
2 rashers smoked back bacon

Method

  1. Start by mixing all the burger patty ingredients together to form two patties. Set aside in fridge for later.
  2. Now make the caramelised onions. Add butter or olive oil to the pan. Fry off onion. Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper, and stir. Leave simmering until thick and caramelised.
  3. Whilst the onions are caramelising, make the Chorizo Jam. Fry off the chorizo. Add apple, sugar and water. Cook down until thick and syrupy.
  4. Next, make the sauce. Start with a base of two parts aioli or mayonnaise. Mix in one part ketchup, a handful of diced pickles, a splash of tabasco, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  5. When the caramelised onions and Chorizo Jam are ready, start preparing the burger. Butter the brioche bun and toast both sides on the grill (can be done in a pan on the hob too). Set to one side.
  6. Set grill (or pan) to high heat. Toss in patties and bacon rashers. Grill/cook for a couple of minutes. Look for great caramelisation on the patties. Cook bacon until crispy for some crunch factor. Remove bacon when cooked.
  7. When patties are done, keep on grill/in pan on a high heat and cover with cheese. Remove when melted.
  8. Now it’s time to assemble the burger! From the bottom up, layer one half of the brioche bun, followed by burger sauce, Chorizo Jam, one patty (with melted cheese), bacon rasher, second patty (with melted cheese), another bacon rasher, caramelised onions, burger sauce and finally the other half of the  brioche bun. Enjoy!
