1 kg minced beef (ca. 20% fat)

1 Red onion (grated)

1 Egg

4 garlic cloves (grated)

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tbsp dried oregano

1 tbsp Worcester sauce

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

4 tbsp ice-cold water

Delicious, succulent and juicy beef burgers.

Peel and grate the onion and garlic cloves.

Take a large bowl, add the minced beef and mix with the grated onion, garlic, mustard, all herbs, spices, Worcester sauce, extra virgin olive oil, paprika and seasoning. Crack the egg into the bowl and add 4 tbsp ice-cold water. Mix the egg and water into the meat mixture.

Divide the meat mixture into 4 to 6 balls depending on how big you want them. Form the meat balls into burgers without pressing the meat too much. Now press a little dint in the middle of each burger. For this, press with your thumb into the middle of the burger to create a little depression. Chill in the fridge until needed.

The burgers can be cooked on a bbq, griddle or in a pan. Slightly oil the griddle if using or add some oil to a frying pan if using. Grill/fry on high heat for about 4 min on each side (5min for well done). Turn the burgers only once. Allow the burgers to rest for 5-10minutes before serving.

Serve in buns with a slice of beef tomato, a slice of a large white onion and some salad leaves or rocket. If you like, add some tomato ketchup.
