Burgers have often been labelled junk food. But this week YOU features burgers that are healthy, fun to make and so delicious your friends and family will love them.
Make a gourmet burger with steak, onion marmalade and rocket leaves. Ask the butcher for a piece of porterhouse, rump or sirloin steak, preferably about 3 cm thick. Makes 4.
INGREDIENTS: 150 ml red wine; 30 ml (2 T) wholegrain mustard or green peppercorns; 3 cloves garlic, crushed; 20 ml Worcester sauce; 30 ml olive oil; 300 g steak; salt; 4 panini; 100 g blue cheese, crumbled; 60 ml onion marmalade; rocket leaves.
METHOD: Mix the red wine, mustard or peppercorns, garlic, Worcester sauce and olive oil and marinate the steak in it for at least 1 hour.
Heat a griddle pan until it starts to smoke and grill the steak for about 3 minutes on each side or to the preferred degree of doneness. Season the steak with salt while it’s cooking. Leave the meat to rest for 10 minutes and cut into thin slices.
Halve the panini and toast lightly. Arrange the meat slices, blue cheese, onion marmalade and rocket leaves on top of the panini and serve with matchstick potato chips.
