Authentic Aussie Burgers Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 kg ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 buns burger buns (toasted)
  • 1 cup lettuce (shredded)
  • 1 medium tomato (sliced)
  • 1 medium beetroot (sliced, optional for authenticity)
  • 4 slices crispy bacon
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

    Handle the meat as little as possible to keep the patties tender.
  2. Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center.

    The indentation helps the patties cook evenly.
  3. Cook the Patties

    Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side, adding cheese during the last minute of cooking.

    Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain juices.
  4. Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

    Toasting adds a nice crunch and prevents sogginess.
  5. Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, the cooked patty with cheese, tomato, beetroot, and bacon if using, then top with the other half of the bun.

    Layering in this order helps to keep the burger together.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Customize toppings based on preference. Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking for juiciness.
