Dinner Tonight: The Aussie Burger Recipe

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Wash the beets well, then wrap individually in tin foil. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife. Alternatively, you can sometimes buy shrink-wrapped pre-cooked peeled beets; just avoid the pickled variety. Let cool in the foil, peel, the slice into 1/4-inch disks.

2. 2

   Divide the meat into 2 portions, seasoning with a large pinch of salt on each and a couple grinds of pepper. Work them as little as possible. Flatten into thin patties about 5 inches across.

3. 3

   Heat a cast iron skillet until very hot, then carefully lay the patties, turn down the heat a little, and cook, untouched, for 1-2 minutes, or until the meat begins to release from the pan. Flip carefully and brown the other side until the burgers are to desired doneness.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, heat a small nonstick skillet and fry the eggs in a bit of butter, taking care to remove from the heat before the yolk is solidified. Toast the buns.

5. 5

   Assemble hamburgers and serve immediately.
