Here is a great recipe to make your own Beefburgers and chips, adapted from the Asda recipe website.

Ingredients:

• 500g Beef Mince (Whatever variety you prefer – normal, lean, extra lean)
• 1 Medium Egg, Beaten
• 100g Breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Chopped Parsley
• 4 Spring Onions, trimmed and finely chopped
• 4 Large Baps for buns (these burgers are pretty large!)
• 2 Large Baking Potatos
• 2 teaspoons of Sunflower Oil and 1 teaspoon for brushing
• Tomato Sauce and Salad to serve
• Drink stirrer sticks (these can be got from Starbucks, look like lollipop sticks)

Preparation:

Put on your oven to preheat at 180°C. Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into long thick strips for steak chips. Place in a baking tray and coat them with the 2 teaspoons of oil. When the oven is ready, place in for 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, take out the oven and turn the chips around so they get evenly cooked on both sides.

While the chips are cooking start preparing the burgers. Add the mince, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, Worcester Sauce, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley and spring onions to a large mixing bowl. Get in there with your hands and make sure the mixture is thoroughly mixed together. Once mixed, shape out the mix to make 4 large patties, making sure to use all the mixture.

Consider that the chips take 40 minutes and the burgers will only need 10 minutes in the oven before the next step. When it’s time, the patties should be brushed with the oil and seared in a frying pan for 3-5 minutes until lightly brown all around the patties. Once seared, put on a baking tray and put in the oven. If you considered the time correctly, all should come out of the oven at the same time. Serve the burgers up in the large baps buttered and the chips. Add salad and tomato sauce to taste in the burgers and season your chips to taste.

For the authentic look, push the drink stirrer sticks through the burgers to hold them together.

Serves 2-4 people (adapt portion sizes for hungrier people!)
