  • Preparation: 10 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (253 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Contains: beef, dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 110 g Beef, ground, 80% lean, raw
  • 60 g Hamburger buns
  • 70 g Tomato sauce, canned
  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 8 g Butter, unsalted
  • 1 g Salt
  • 0.2 g Black pepper

Method

  1. Shape the ground beef into a thin, wide patty and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Fry the patty in a little of the butter for 2 minutes a side until browned; set aside.
  3. In the same pan, melt the rest of the butter, add the crushed garlic and tomato sauce, and simmer 3-4 minutes into a smooth sauce.
  4. Put the burger patty inside the bun, then dip or submerge the whole assembled burger briefly in the hot tomato sauce so the bun soaks it up.
  5. Lift out, place in a covered container or steam briefly to keep warm and soft, and serve immediately while hot and moist.
