Drunken Aussie Beef Burgers Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 500g | 1lb extra lean beef mince 
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• ⅓ cup | 80ml of your favourite beer/lager
• salt and pepper to season
• 4 medium eggs
• 4 shortcut bacon pieces, fat removed
• ½ onion, thinly sliced
• 4 slices pineapple canned in natural juice
• Handful of rocket/arugula (or lettuce)
• 8 slices beetroot
• 4 slices cheese of choice
• 1 tomato, sliced and divided
• 4 medium bread rolls of choice, halved
• Tomato sauce
• Mayonnaise (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine meat together with the garlic, sauce and lager. Mix well with your hands for about a minute, until the meat has combined with the other ingredients. Divide meat mixture into 4 parts and firmly mould them into round patties about 1-inch thick.
2. Heat a grill pan/skillet on medium-high heat. Sear hamburgers on both sides until golden and cooked through.
3. While the burgers are frying, fry the onion and bacon in a separate pan, until the onion is transparent and fragrant, and the bacon is crispy on both sides.
4. Transfer bacon and onion onto a paper towel; wipe pan over; add a drizzle of oil and fry the eggs until cooked to your liking.
5. When the burger patties are cooked to your liking, transfer them onto a warmed plate, wipe pan over with a paper towel; and fry the pineapple rings (about 1 minute each side until caramelised).
6. Build your burgers! Layer the base of each bun with the lettuce/arugula, beetroot slices, burger patties, cheese, pineapple rings, bacon, onion rings, tomato slices and the fried egg. Drizzle with tomato sauce and (optional) mayonnaise; top with remaining bun piece and serve!
