- 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
- Shape the ground beef into a thin, wide patty and season with salt and pepper.
- Fry the patty in a little of the butter for 2 minutes a side until browned; set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Lift out, place in a covered container or steam briefly to keep warm and soft, and serve immediately while hot and moist.
