Beef Burgers

500g rump steak
50g bone marrow (ask your butcher for marrow bones and scoop out the marrow)
1 small onion, grated
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk

Method

Cut the steak into thin strips then chop finely.

Place in a bowl and mix in the salt. Finely chop the bone marrow (sometimes it’s easier to chill it or stick in freezer for 20 minutes) and mix thoroughly through the meat.

Mix in the egg yolk. Press a quarter into ring mould or form into a patty.

Place on parchment paper and chill for an hour.

Remove burgers from fridge for 10 minutes before cooking.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan until hot and add the burgers.

Cook to seal on both sides and then lower heat to cook for a further 5 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

100g grated sharp cheddar.

Divide cheddar onto the top of burgers and top with another pan or large bowl to “steam” and melt the cheese – this keeps the burger moist.
Serve in a bun with the dill pickles and a dollop of the burger sauce.
