Greetings Dear Readers,
From time to time (every chance I get), I muse on the gastronomic wonders of the world. This weekend I had one of my favorites thus far in life. It is an Aussie Burger. Many of you know I am in the process of adopting a young lady from Australia. She is very gifted in the kitchen and has shared many excellent dishes native to Oz. Aussie Burgers are one of the finest things I have ever eaten. Sunday evening she made them for me. Not only did I consume two of the massive burgers but had another for breakfast on Monday and another for Lunch. They are delicious, protein rich, and very satisfying. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients
Hamburger Patties
17 2/3 ounces lean ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Australian tomato sauce (may substitute ketchup)
1 teaspoons steak seasoning
salt and pepper
Topping for Burgers
1 1/2 ounces butter
2 large onions, cut in thin rings
4 slices cheese
4 eggs
4 slices bacon, rind removed
4 large hamburger buns, halved
shredded lettuce, for serving
1 large tomato, sliced
4 large pickled beets, sliced, drained (out of tin)
4 pineapple rings, drained
Australian tomato sauce (may substitute ketchup), for serving
Directions
Combine ground beef, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, Australian tomato sauce (may substitute ketchup), steak seasoning, salt and pepper in bowl, mix with hands to combine.
Divide mixture into 4 and shape into round patties.
Heat 1/2 butter in pan, add onion rings and cook over medium heat until browned, drain, keep warm.
Heat skillet or grill (broiler), brush with oil.
Cook patties 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked through, place cheese slice on each patty.
While patties are cooking heat remaining butter in skillet and fry eggs and bacon until cooked.
Toast buns and place bases on serving plates.
On each bun place lettuce, tomato, beetroot, pineapple, then meat patty, onion rings, bacon, egg and finally bun top. Add extra Australian tomato sauce (may substitute ketchup).
Enjoy with an icy cold beer!
If you make them, let me know how you liked them, or invite me over to eat one. They ROCK.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
