Beef Burgers from N Z

This recipe makes very juicy beef burgers, which are easy to make. The mixture is quite moist. We have them as part of a selection of meats when Bar-B-Queing. Cook them on a hot flat oiled plate or cook in a frypan indoors. This comes from a Rotary Cookbook from District 994.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 500  g lean ground beef (beef mince in N Z)
• 150  g sour cream
• 1  egg
• 1  onion (grated or chopped very finely)
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  tablespoon  green herb stock powder (I use Maggi green herb stock but you could use onion or beef stock if this is not available)
•  ground black pepper
• 1  teaspoon  crushed garlic (optional)
• 1⁄2 cup cornflour

Directions

1. Mix ingredients together (with the exception of the cornflour) with a fork until well combined.
2. I like to add 1tsp crushed garlic to mix but it is not essential.
3. Shape into patties sized to suit and dust lightly with cornflour.
4. Grill or pan-fry for approx 4-5mins each side on med-high heat.
5. These are good for barbques as part of a platter, or serve in burger buns or toasted bread slices with other fillings of choice such as, tomato slices, shredded or leaves of lettuce,a pineapple slice, onion slices, cheese and of course your favourite sauce!
