GOURMET PUB BURGERS

Gourmet Pub Burgers image

I made burgers similar to these in my college training, and tweaked them a little to satisfy picky eaters at home! Moist and juicy burgers guaranteed every time. Garnish the burger with a slice of pancetta, ancient grainy mustard, red onion slices, iceberg lettuce, and Swiss or blue cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ⅓ pounds ground beef
½ cup bread crumbs
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 egg
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
6 slices pancetta
6 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, shallot, Dijon mustard, egg, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Refrigerate mixture to incorporate flavors, 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Form ground beef mixture into 6 patties.
Heat a skillet over medium heat; lay pancetta slices in a single layer in the hot skillet. Cook until pancetta begins to sweat, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pancetta from skillet and keep warm.
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cook patties on the preheated grill until burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well burgers. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Place 1 burger into each of the buns; top burger with a pancetta slice.

Ingredients

4 large potatoes (we used Maris Piper), cut into chunky chips
2l vegetable oil , for frying
sea salt , to serve
500g beef mince , best quality you can afford
4 shallots , finely chopped
2 tsp English mustard
1 large egg yolk
25g breadcrumb
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 rashers smoked streaky bacon
4 large sesame-seed buns , halved
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
8 slices red leicester
1 large handful lamb's lettuce
2 gherkins , sliced lengthways
2 vine tomatoes , sliced lengthways
coleslaw , to serve (optional)

Steps:

Put the potatoes in a large pan of salted cold water and boil for 6-8 mins or until tender. Drain well, return to the pan and shake with the lid on to fluff up the edges. Take care not to break up the chips too much.
Heat the oil in your largest saucepan to about 150C, when a little piece of potato should just start to sizzle. Fry the chips for 5-8 mins until crisp but not brown. Dry thoroughly on kitchen paper and leave to cool.
In a large bowl, mix together the beef mince, shallots, mustard, egg yolk and breadcrumbs until well combined. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into burgers. Cover and chill the burgers in the fridge for at least 30 mins (you can prep these up to 2 days ahead).
Heat a griddle pan until hot and coat the burgers in oil. Cook for about 10-12 mins, turning regularly, until cooked through. Leave to rest on a plate under some foil. Cook the bacon in the pan until really crisp, then set aside with the burgers. Place the cut side of the buns onto the griddle to toast slightly.
Reheat the oil so that it's really hot - about 180C - and again cook the chips for 5 mins or so until golden. Drain and sprinkle over sea salt. Spread ketchup over the toasted buns and fill each with the burgers and other ingredients. Serve with the chips and some coleslaw, if you like.
