A towering beef burger loaded with beetroot, fried egg, grilled onion, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pineapple — the uniquely Australian maximalist burger.
Ingredients
4 beef burger patties (180g each)
4 burger buns
4 slices canned beetroot
4 eggs
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 pineapple rings
1 large onion, thickly sliced
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomato
Tomato sauce and mustard
Butter for buns
Instructions
1Season beef patties generously with salt and pepper. Grill or fry 3-4 min per side for medium.
2Add cheese slices in the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
3Fry eggs sunny-side up. Grill onion slices and pineapple rings until charred.
4Butter and toast bun halves on the grill.
5Build from the bottom: bun base, lettuce, tomato, beetroot, beef patty with cheese, pineapple, grilled onion, fried egg.
6Add tomato sauce and mustard, crown with top bun. Serve with paper napkins — you will need them.
