Summer is here and what better way to celebrate this, than to have a BBQ. Every once loves burgers but forget getting the Tesco and Adsa burgers; why not make your own! Takes less than 10mins to make and you will look like the perfect caterer or party host.

1. Selecting good meat is the first and most crucial step; selecting a lean mince, really isn’t the way forward. By the nature of the cooking method the meat will be lean any way. With Lean mince the burger will be dry and tasteless
2. Use a nice sirloin, ground this up and add a little salt.
3. Use damp hands when handling the beef, a squeeze into medium size patties
4. Once you’ve made these into patties, leave them in the fridge for 2 hours to allow them to firm up
5. Make the patty at a maximum of 1 inch thick
6. When grilling, grill for 3 minutes per side to initially seal the burger
7. Never squeeze the patty with a spatula, this will get rid of the lovely fat and juices.
8. If you have a frying pan to hand place this ontop while cooking, this will help cook the beef in the middle quicker.
