Instructions
  1. Combine all the Beef Patty ingredients in a bowl. Use your hands to mix until everything is incorporated.

  2. Split the mince into 4 balls and flatten into patties, make them slightly larger than the hamburger buns (they will shrink when cooking).

  3. Let the patties rest in the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes.

  4. Heat oil in a large heavy-based pan over high heat, or a BBQ. Place patties in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the underside is browned. Flip the patty and cook the other side for 1 minute.

  5. Then place a slice of swiss cheese on each Beef Patty, cover with a lid and cook for a further 1 minutes until the cheese has melted. Note cooking time may vary depending on your patty thickness and pan or BBQ heat.

  6. Remove Beef Patties from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.

  7. Meanwhile, add the pineapple slices to the hot pan or BBQ and let them caramelise on both sides then remove from the heat. You can lightly toast the hamburger buns (optional).

  8. Finally to assemble, spread the BBQ sauce on the bottom hamburger bun. Add a slice of Cheddar cheese (it will melt with the heat of the beef patty) Then place the patty on top. Follow by adding the grilled pineapple, fresh red onion, beetroot slices, tomato slices and lettuce. Lastly just spread tomato sauce on the bun and place on top. Enjoy your Downunder Deluxe!
