Garlic + Onion Burgers

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Additional Time: 2 hours Total Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes Yields: Six (6) burgers

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • 1/2 cup minced onion

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix ground beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

  2. When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove beef mixture from the refrigerator and form into six 1/2-inch-thick patties.

  3. Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F

The Perfect Steak

Cook Time: 4 minutes Resting Time: 7 minutes Total Time: 11 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 sirloin steaks about 2cm-2.5cm thick, taken out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.

  • 1 1⁄2 tbsp sunflower oil

  • 1⁄2 tsp salt

  • 1⁄2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter you can use salted butter if you prefer it, but remember, you’ve already seasoned the steak.

  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and lightly squashed

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme optional

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. For medium-rare – Heat a medium-sized heavy-bottomed frying pan over a high heat.

  2. Drizzle the oil over the steaks and sprinkle on the salt and pepper – massage the oil, salt and pepper into both sides of the steaks.

  3. Place the steaks in the pan and cook for 3 minutes, turning every minute.

  4. Turn down the heat (you can turn it off if you’re using a cast iron pan, as the heat will be retained) and add in the butter (you can also add in the garlic and fresh thyme here, if using).

  5. Cook for a final minute (so it’s 4 minutes altogether), basting the butter over the steaks several times during cooking.

  6. Remove the steaks from the pan and place on a warm (not hot) plate or a board. Leave to rest for 5 minutes (you can rest the steak for up to 10 minutes before it starts to get too cool). Then serve. NOTE: Drizzle over any leftover pan juices, or use them as the base for a delicious steak sauce.
