What you'll need...

For the burger sauce
  • 100g mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce
  • 3 tbsp pickles, minced
For the burgers
  • 250g lean beef mince
  • 20g onion, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 2 slices mature cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika, optional
For serving
  • 2 sesame buns
  • Lettuce

Method

  1. Make the burger sauce. Combine the mayonnaise, tomato sauce and minced pickles in a bowl. Store in the fridge until ready to serve with the burgers. 

  2. Combine the beef, onion, salt and pepper, mixed herbs and paprika in a bowl. 

  3. Divide the beef into 2 equal portions and press into flat patties. Make sure the burgers are evenly sized – you can weigh them. Make a divot in the centre of each burger by using your thumb – this can keep them from swelling and keeps them burger-shaped. 

  4. Preheat the air fryer to 170C. Place the burgers into the basket and make sure they’re not touching. Air fry for 8 minutes. You shouldn’t need to flip the burgers. 

  1. Add the slices of cheese to the burgers and allow to cook for a further 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. 

  2. If you wish, you can quickly toast the sesame buns in the air fryer for a minute. 

  3. Assemble the burgers by adding the burger to the toasted buns and topping with the burger sauce and lettuce. Add red onion and tomato slices if you desire.
