Ingredients

500 g beef mince
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
Oil for cooking

Method

Gently mix mince with seasoning — do not overwork.
Shape into 4 even patties; press a slight dent in the centre.
Cook on a hot pan or BBQ 4–6 minutes per side until cooked through.
Rest 2 minutes; serve in buns with your usual toppings.

Food safety

Burger mince must be cooked through — no rare centre for minced products.
