Caramelised Onion Chipotle Beef Burgers
Seasoned beef patties nestled in brioche buns with caramelised onions, accompanied by a crisp side salad dressed in balsamic glaze and olive oil.

Ingredients
Method
Step 1
Thinly slice the red onion. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over low heat, add the onion with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of sugar, and cook slowly until soft and caramelised.
Step 2
Season the beef mince with salt and pepper, then shape into two even patties and refrigerate briefly to firm up.
Step 3
Split the brioche buns and toast cut-side down in a dry frying pan until lightly golden.
Step 4
Mix the chipotle paste into the mayonnaise to create a creamy chipotle mayo.
Step 5
Wash and prepare the salad: tear the lettuce, dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice more red onion. Toss with olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Step 6
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4–5 minutes on each side, until thoroughly cooked.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by spreading chipotle mayo on the buns, placing a lettuce leaf, a patty, and caramelised onions, then topping with the bun lids. Serve with the fresh side salad.
