Cheesy Beef & Garlic Aioli Burger

• Thinly slice brown onion.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
medium-high heat.
• Cook onion, stirring regularly until softened,  
5-6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic 
vinegar, a splash of water and brown sugar and 
mix well. 
• Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to 
a small bowl.

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine beef 
mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, tomato & herb 
seasoning and a pinch of salt. 
• Shape beef mixture into evenly sized patties 
(1 per person) slightly larger than your burger buns. 
Transfer to a plate.  

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a 
drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook beef patties until almost cooked through,  
4-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is 
getting crowded).
• Transfer beef patties to a second lined oven tray. 
• Sprinkle over Cheddar cheese.
• Bake until patties are cooked through and cheese is 
melted, 3-4 minutes. 

• Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns 
and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated 
through, 2-3 minutes.
