Mixing bowl
Baking tray
Frying pan
- 500 g lean minced beef (18 ounces)
- 1 tomato
- 1 egg
- 1 small red onion
- 1 garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup breadcrumbs
Grate the onion, garlic and tomato in a mixing bowl. Add the oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil, egg and mix using a whisk.
Add the minced beef and breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky add some more breadcrumbs till the mix is solid. Pre-heat the oven to 200C. Leave the mixture in the fridge to rest for 10-15 minutes, while the oven is heating to temperature.
Knead the mixture in flat round hamburgers. Pre-heat some olive oil or rapeseed oil (for crispier results) in a pan and shallow fry for 1 minute on each side to lock in the flavours.
Place the burgers on a large baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Once ready, remove tray from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes.
Serve with some basmati rice, chips or leafy salad. Enjoy!
