Henry Herbert's Slider Burgers
Henry's easy-to-prepare Slider Burgers are easy to prepare and promise to be a sure fire hit with all the family.
Henry - who is back at his chopping board after starring in the popular Channel 4 series The Fabulous Baker Brothers with his brother Tom - is backing the fifth annual National Butchers Week with four recipes that promise to brighten up any table.
Ingredients
- 4 burger baps
- 400g chuck steak, minced
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 onion, very thinly sliced
- 4 slices burger cheese
- 1 big ripe tomato, sliced
- butterhead lettuce
- cucumber pickles
Procedure
- Divide the mince into 4 equal balls and lightly roll.
- The idea behind a slider is that you don't season and mix the burger, which will cause the meat to dry out and cure. Instead you season it last minute like a steak, so it retains maximum juiciness.
- Heat a frying pan and when smoking hot add the oil and the round balls of mince.
- Season and allow to brown for 1 minute, then push a small pinch of onions into the middle of each ball and 'slam' the burger flat with a pallet knife.
- Flip the burger over so cook for a further 2 minutes, or longer if you don't like pink.
- Serve in baps with butterhead lettuce, ripe tomato and pickled cucumber.
- Alternatively, place a piece of cheese and the split bun on top of the burger still in the pan, so the cheese melts to the bun.
- Lift the burger and add the bottom of the bun.
- Enjoy the juiciest, most chin-drippingly delicious burger ever.
