Thin slices of rare roast beef, sweet onion jam and oozy mozzarella take the humble cheeseburger to new heights.

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
2 tsp thyme leaves
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
400g piece beef eye-fillet, trimmed
4 roma tomatoes, halved
Onion jam, to serve
4 crusty bread rolls, split, toasted
2 cups rocket
2 x 125g balls buffalo mozzarella or bocconcini, torn
1/2 cup (150g) aioli or whole-egg mayonnaise
1/2 cup (40g) shaved parmesan

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 120°C. Combine garlic, chilli flakes, 1 teaspoon thyme and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl and season. Add beef, turning to coat well, then stand at room temperature for 1 hour to marinate.
2.

Place tomatoes, cut-side up, on a baking tray and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Roast for 1 hour or until tender, then set aside to cool.
3.

Increase the oven to 200°C.
4.

Heat an ovenproof frypan over high heat. Sear beef, turning, for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes, then thinly slice.
5.

To serve, spread onion jam on the base of each roll. Top with tomato, beef, rocket and mozzarella. Drizzle with aioli and top with parmesan, then replace bun top.
