Ingredients

  • 4 floury baps
  • 8 oz chuck steak (trimmed into 1.5” cubes)
  • 8 oz sirloin (trimmed into 1.5” cubes)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tblsp butter
  • 1 large Spanish onion (sliced)
  • 1 tblsp olive oil
  • A splash of sherry vinegar
  • A pinch of brown sugar
  • A splash of sherry
  • A sprig of thyme

Method

  • Pulse the beef, then season. Remove and shape into four patties.
  • Pre-heat a ribbed grill pan or frying pan and cook the patties on a medium-high heat for three minutes each side. This will ensure medium rare burgers.
  • Next do the caramelised sherry onions with thyme.
  • Put the onions, thyme, butter and olive oil in to a pot.
  • Bring to a gentle sizzle, cover with a lid and turn down. Now leave to cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, turn up the heat and cook the onions until they begin to caramelise.
  • Just before they are done, toast the baps. Add the caramelised onions, and serve.
