A Recipe: Homemade Beef Burgers with Rocket, Cheese & Wedges

I love homemade burgers. It's rare that we'll buy them pre-made, mainly because you can do so much with a homemade beef patty. We recently made some beef burgers with a side of rocket and wedges, so I thought I'd tell you how we did it. This recipe serves 4 people. 

Ingredients

*500g mince beef
*1 small onion
*1 garlic clove
*1tsp Worcestershire sauce
*1tsp Dijon mustard
*Salt
*Pepper
*3tbsp olive oil
*4 slices mature cheddar cheese
*4 brioche burger buns
*Handful of fresh rocket
*1 tomato
*4tbsp mayonnaise
*1tbsp ketchup (optional)
*4 medium-sized potatoes
*1tsp paprika
*1/2tsp garlic granules

Method

For the wedges

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees celsius/200 Fan/gas mark 7
  2. Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges
  3. Place them in a bowl with 2tbsp olive oil and toss them 
  4. Add 1tsp paprika, 1/2tsp garlic granules and some salt and pepper and toss again
  5. Spread them out over a baking tray, making sure they're not overcrowded (you may need to use more than one tray)
  6. bake for 30-35 minutes, turning half way through

For the beef burgers

  1. Add the mince, the onion, the garlic, the Worcestershire sauce, the mustard and some salt and pepper into a mixing bowl and combine
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and them shape them into patties
  3. Add 1tbsp olive oil to a frying pan and place over a medium-high heat
  4. Cook the patties until browned and cooked through, turning as needed
  5. Once the patties have reached 70 degrees celsius in the centre, add a slice of cheese to each patty and cover the pan with a lid until the cheese has melted
  6. In the meantime, lightly toast the buns, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half and add a handful of fresh rocket 
  7. Put the beef patty on top of the rocket and mayonnaise and place a sliced tomato on the top
  8. Add a little more mayonnaise and ketchup, if needed

Serve

  1. Place the finished burgers onto a plate 
  2. Scoop a portion of wedges onto the side 
  3. Add another side of rocket for good measure
