Smashed Beef Cheeseburger & Tomato Relish

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato.
• Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients).
• 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 tomato, the balsamic 
vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water, then 
mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. 
Transfer to a small bowl. 

• In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, Aussie 
spice blend, the egg, fine breadcrumbs and a pinch 
of salt and pepper.
• Shape beef mixture into rough balls (2 per person).

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the 
ingredients and shaping the mixture into balls!   

• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat 
with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Place balls into the pan, smashing down with a 
spatula, until roughly 1cm-thick. Cook, until just 
cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side.
• In the last 1-2 minutes of cook time, sprinkle 
Cheddar cheese over patties and cover with a lid  
(or foil) so cheese melts. 

TIP: Cook your patties in batches if your pan is getting 
crowded.

• While beef patties are cooking, halve bake-at-home 
burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack 
until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
