Ingredients
  

  • Caramelised Onions:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Patties:
  • 700 g beef mince 20% fat
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 100 g Stilton crumbled
  • To Build:
  • 4 brioche buns split
  • 25 g unsalted butter softened
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • Handful of rocket

Method
 

  1. Cook onions slowly 25–30 minutes, add sugar and vinegar for final 2 minutes.
  2. Shape mince into 4 patties.
  3. Season just before cooking.
  4. Sear 3 minutes, flip, cook 2–3 minutes more.
  5. Add Stilton in final minute, cover briefly to melt.
  6. Toast buttered buns.
  7. Build with lettuce, patty, onions and rocket.

Notes

Cook the onions low and slow for proper sweetness against the cheese.
Cover the pan briefly if the blue cheese needs extra help melting.
Raw patties freeze well for up to 3 months.
Caramelised onions freeze separately for up to 2 months.
