Ingredients

  • 450g lean minced beef
  • 1 white onion , finely chopped, cooked in a little olive oil until soft
  • 2 garlic cloves , chopped
  • 1 tbsp basil , chopped
  • 4 burger buns , split in half
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 gem lettuce , separated into leaves
  • 50g blue cheese , crumbled
  • 1 red onion , sliced, to top the burger
  • 1 jar Ballymaloe Relish , to serve

Method

Step 1

If using a charcoal barbecue, light it 30 minutes before you want to start cooking. If using a gas barbecue, light it 10 minutes beforehand.

Step 2

Divide the beef into four portions, and mix in the basil, cooked white onion, garlic and season. Using wet hands, shape into patties that are 2.5cm thick. Sprinkle a teaspoon of black pepper all over the burgers.

Step 3

To serve, toast the cut sides of the burger buns on the grill rack and place the bottom halves on warmed plates. Add a smear of mayonnaise followed by the lettuce. Top with the burgers, then add the crumbled blue cheese and reserved onion slices. Add the burger buns to the side and place the Ballymaloe Relish on each plate.

Step 4

Add to the grill rack and cook for 4 minutes on each side for rare, 6 minutes each side for medium and 8-9 minutes for well-done.
