Ingredients

  • 100 g lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon barbecue seasoning
  • 12 teaspoon cajun seasoning
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 dash mixed Italian herbs
  • 2 slices focaccia bread
  • 1 medium tomatoes
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 12 cup red wine

Method

  • To save time and I am a person who doesn't like to wait around, this is order of things.
  • Mix the minced beef together with all condiments and herbs with italian herbs being last item.
  • Roll into a ball and press into a patty, roughly 12 cm in diameter ( 5 inches) and 1.5cm ( 1/2 inch) thick.
  • Beef tends to shrink upon cooking so don't worry about being too big.
  • Store in fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Wash hands.
  • (You can store longer if you like).
  • In the meantime, slice up the onions and tomatoes, leave it in the fridge.
  • After the beef has been marinated 15 minutes, heat up skillet or non stick pan.
  • (medium high).
  • Grill the patty in the skillet or fry in the pan.
  • Flip the patty every 1 min till browning occurs outside.
  • Remove the patty and leave it to rest.
  • Lower the fire and saute the sliced white onions, add 0.5 cup wine to deglaze and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
  • Saute about 2 minutes till onions slightly soften and caramelized.
  • Turn off the heat but leave the onions inside the skillet/pan.
  • Put 2 sliced tomatoes on the bottom bread and place the patty on top.
  • Scoop in the fried onions on the patty and top it up with another slice or two of tomato.
  • Cover with the top bread and serve with salad to up the health quotient.
