Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Form into 4 equal patties about 3/4-inch thick.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked to medium (internal temperature 140°F). Add 4 slices cheddar cheese on top during the last minute and cover to melt.
  3. Step 3: To assemble, spread 1 tbsp beetroot relish on the bottom half of each toasted burger bun. Layer with 1 large lettuce leaf, 1 tomato slice, a cheesy beef patty, and slices from 1 avocado.
  4. Step 4: Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with chips or salad.

How do I store leftover Avocado and Beetroot Aussie Burger with Beetroot Relish?
