1 small white onion, peeled, thinly sliced into rings
4 x 180g Angus beef burger patties
Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
4 slices burger cheese (such as Monterey Jack)
4 bacon rashers
4 potato burger buns, halved (we used Martin’s Potato Rolls)
1 butter leaf lettuce, washed, leaves separated
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced
450g can pickled beetroot slices, drained
Pickles to serve
Sea salt chips to serve

Burger sauce

1/2 cup (125ml) tomato sauce
1 tbs American mustard
250g whole-egg mayonnaise
50g sweet and sour pickles, finely chopped
1/2 bunch dill, finely chopped

Method

1.

For the burger sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside until required.
2.

Place some ice cubes and water in a small bowl, add onion rings and set aside for 15-20 minutes to crisp up and release the bitterness.
3.

Preheat a chargrill or barbecue to high heat. Season beef patties with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, drizzle with oil and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until well caramelised and cooked through. Top each patty with cheese and cook for 3 minutes or until melted.
4.

Transfer to a plate and set aside. Meanwhile, add bacon to the grill and cook, turning halfway, for 5-6 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Place burger buns on the grill, cut side down, to toast lightly.
5.

To assemble the burgers, spread a little burger sauce on cut sides of each bun, then top bun bases with patties, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, beetroot and extra sauce. Sandwich with bun tops.
6.

Serve with chips and pickles.
