Spicy Beef Burgers

Spicy Beef Burgers
Adapted from Delicious - Australia

Printable Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10minutes

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
1lb/450g ground beef
3 tbsp medium curry paste (I used rogan josh)
2 tbsp cilantro/coriander, chopped
¼ cup mango pickle, chopped
½ red onion, chopped
For the bun…
Red onion slices ( grilled mine along side the burgers on my grill pan - they caramelized and were awesome) My Honey liked his raw.
Spicy tomato relish (magazine suggestion, I didn’t have so opted for more mango pickles)
lettuce

Directions:
1. Combine ground beef, curry paste, cilantro, chopped onion and chopped mango pickle in a bowl. Form into 4 patties.

2. Preheat a grill pan or BBQ, if you’re lucky, brush burgers with a little oil (I used olive, but any vegetable oil would do). Cook for about 5 minutes per side, turning once. The burgers should be cooked through but not dried out.

Serve on buns with your favorite fixin’s.
NOTE: this would make an awesome meatloaf. Just bake at 350ºF/180°C for 45 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160ºF/71°C. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to absorb some of the juices.
