As the cold weather sets in and the curfew extension takes hold, it's easy to feel like a barbecue is out of the question. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a tasty burger in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Published on June 19, 2020, this recipe shows you how to make a juicy burger without a grill. With just a few simple steps, you can create a mouth-watering meal that's sure to satisfy your cravings.

Here's what you'll need:

  • 500g minced beef
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and herbs to taste

First, mix the minced beef, egg, onion, salt, and herbs together in a bowl until well combined. Then, use your hands to shape the mixture into four hamburger patties.

When forming the patties, be sure not to add hot cooked onions to the raw mince, as this can cause the meat to dry out. Instead, let the onions cool completely or add them raw to the mixture.

Next, heat a non-stick pan or griddle over high heat and sear the burger for one minute on each side to seal in the juices. Then, transfer the burger to a preheated oven and cook at 180 degrees for 9 minutes for a rare burger, 11 minutes for medium, and 13-15 minutes for well done.

Finally, let the burger rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making the burger even juicier and more delicious.

So why not give this recipe a try and enjoy a tasty burger in the comfort of your own kitchen?
