Word on the street is that the wilder the burger, the better the day. It’s the perfect opportunity to break free from the ordinary and embark on a daring burger adventure like no other. And boy do we have the ultimate showstopper for you: the Soweto Chilli-Cheese Smash burger!
Brace yourself and let’s dive right in.
Ingredients for the beef mince:
400g of lean ground beef
Finely chopped medium-sized white onion
1 large tomato, chopped
180ml beef stock
3 cloves of minced garlic
Chilli powder
Ground cumin
Black pepper
Salt
Instructions:
Toss the onions and garlic into preheated oil and let them sizzle until they turn beautifully golden brown.
Sprinkle in chilli powder, cumin, black pepper, and salt to the mix and stir evenly.
Add ground beef and cook until it turns a delightful shade of brown.
Enhance the flavours by adding tomatoes and beef stock.
Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together into pure perfection.
Now, let’s move on to smashing the patties!
Gather the following ingredients for the patties:
800g of lean beef mince
Half an onion, thinly sliced onion
Soweto Smokey Garlic Sauce
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Salt
Instructions:
Season the beef mince and divide it into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
Top each beef ball with slices of onion.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
Place each beef ball onto the hot surface and use a sturdy spatula or burger press to smash them into thin patties.
Let the patties cook for a couple of minutes on each side, ensuring they develop a beautiful crust.
Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty, followed by a generous drizzle of the Smokey Garlic.
Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest.
While the patties rest, let’s prepare the burger buns.
4 soft burger buns
Mayonnaise
Sliced jalapenos (for those who love the heat)
Cheese
Instructions:
Cut the burger buns in half and toast them to golden perfection.
Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom burger buns.
Now to assemble the chilli-cheese smash burger:
Place the chilli-cheese patties over the mayonnaise.
Layer on the beef mince sauce.
(Optional) add sliced jalapenos
Finally, crown your chilli cheese smash burger with the top half of the burger bun.
