Step 1 – Grate The Onion

To make the beef patty burgers, grate the onion and place it into a large mixing bowl.

If using a Thermomix – roughly chop the onion and place it into the Thermomix bowl, along with the garlic clove. Mix for 6 seconds, Speed 8.

Step 2 – Mix The Burger Ingredients

Add the minced garlic, beef mince, panko breadcrumbs, egg, dried mixed herbs, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper to the grated onion.

If using a Thermomix – add the remaining ingredients and mix for 10 seconds on Speed 4. Scrape down the bowl and repeat until combined.

Step 3 – Form Into Patties

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and using your hands, shape them into round, flat beef patty burgers.

Step 4 – Cook The Burgers

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the beef patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

* These burgers can also be cooked on a BBQ grill.

Step 5 – Assemble And Serve

Cut the buns in half and top with lettuce, tomato, beef patty, cheese, pickles, and burger sauce.

Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

Burger buns – choose hamburger buns or soft brioche buns.
Burger sauce – you can use any brand of burger sauce you like (I used Coles Special Burger Sauce). You can also use tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, caramelised onion or mustard sauce instead.
Burger fillings – I like to use lettuce, sliced tomato, cheese slices, and pickles – but you can substitute with any of your other favourite burger fillings. You can even make a ‘burger with the lot’ by adding sliced beetroot, crispy bacon and a fried egg!
Cooking – the hamburger patties can be cooked either in a frying pan or on a BBQ grill.
Prep ahead of time – the beef patty burgers can be prepared ahead of time and stored (covered with plastic wrap) in the fridge for up to 2 days before cooking.
Storing – store any leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Freezing – you can freeze cooked or uncooked beef patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months. If freezing uncooked patties, place a sheet of baking (parchment paper) between each patty to stop them sticking to one another. Defrost in the fridge overnight before cooking or reheating.

FAQ’s

What is the difference between a beef burger and a beef patty?

Minced meat that has been shaped into a round disc and cooked or grilled is usually referred to as a burger, particularly when served in a bread roll. When served as part of a meal, they are sometimes referred to as a beef patty, but essentially they are the same thing!

What type of meat is in a burger patty?

Although beef mince is frequently used to make burger patties, you can use other types of minced meat if you like.
All types of meat are acceptable, such as pork, lamb, chicken, veal and turkey. You can also combine various meat types to create your own unique burger blend.

What’s the difference between panko crumbs and regular breadcrumbs?

Panko breadcrumbs were invented in Japan and are used in many Asian cuisines. They’re made from a crustless white bread and have a dryer and flakier consistency than regular breadcrumbs, and are light and crunchy when fried.
Regular breadcrumbs can be made from a variety of different breads and crusts. They’re processed into a finer crumb than panko, and can be made with a food processor. They’re have more of a bread-like consistency when fried.
Both are suitable for these tasty beef patty burgers.
