Ingredients for Mini Manx Beef Burgers with Blue Cheese

PLEASE NOTE: This recipe calls for the GRILLING or BROILING of food. In most countries of the world, the term "grilling" refers to heat coming from above the food source. Significantly, in North America, it signifies heat from below the food (such as barbecuing). In the United States and Canada, when the heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is termed broiling, and the pan that holds the food is usually called a broiler pan.
How to Cook Mini Manx Beef Burgers with Blue Cheese
- In a mixing bowl, mix the beef with 1 teaspoon of English mustard (that's the bright yellow stuff that will lift the top of your head off, on it's own!). Peel and crush the garlic and add to the meat along with the egg (quickly beaten). Blend this mixture together with your hands and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Lightly dust a flat worktop with flour and form 16 thin flat patties with the meat. Sandwich two patties with approximately 1 teaspoon of crumbled Gorgonzola and press the edges together well to form a tight seal. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes (or more).
- Meanwhile, peel and slice the onions and fry them very gently in a little butter until they become soft (about 10 minutes). Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the onions have caramelised.
- Cook the burgers either on a hot barbecue, a hot griddle or under the grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through (the cheese needs to melt).
- While the burgers are cooking, cut the buns in half. Mix the mayonnaise and remaining teaspoon of English mustard and spread a little on each burger bun, then lay a few salad leaves on the bottom halves. Add a Mini Manx Beef Burger with Blue Cheese onto each bun, spoon over some caramelised onions and top with the other half of the bun.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Make sure that the patties are well sealed as the melted Gorgonzola will escape very easily!
Reviews of Mini Manx Beef Burgers with Blue Cheese
April 11 2014 Surprisingly good flavor combination. I used grass fed beef and it came out wonderfully rachel (7 reviews) |
January 03 2013 These are fantastic; juicy, flavorful, easy. I make a quadruple batch of the meat and apportion it out into gallon-sized freezer bags to have at the ready for week-night grilling. If time is short, these are still great without the onions. (I sometimes make with ground turkey, btw.) ariasecho (2 reviews) |
