Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 slices Beetroot slices (canned, drained)
- 2 slices Pineapple rings (grilled or canned)
- 2 large Fried eggs
- 4 slices Bacon rashers
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Onion rings (grilled or caramelized)
- 2 Burger buns (sesame seed preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato sauce (ketchup)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 3 large Potatoes (for chips)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
Form the ground beef into two equal patties about 1.5 cm thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the skillet and cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or to your preferred doneness. During the last minute, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to let it melt. Set aside.
Cook the bacon in the same skillet until crispy, then set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
Place the pineapple rings on the grill or skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, just long enough to caramelize them slightly. Set aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil and fry the eggs sunny-side-up, keeping the yolks slightly runny. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Slice the potatoes into thick wedges or fries. Soak them in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Fry the potato wedges in batches for 4-5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle the hot chips with paprika and garlic powder for seasoning.
Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, bacon, beetroot slices, pineapple, a fried egg, grilled onions, and tomato slices. Spread tomato sauce on the inside of the top bun and place it on top.
Serve the burgers hot, alongside the seasoned chips.
