Ingredients

• 675g (1½lb) beef sirloin or braising steak, cut into long thin strips
• 15ml (1 tbsp) chopped mixed fresh herbs e.g. parsley, thyme, basil
• juice and grated rind ½ lemon
• freshly ground black pepper
• flour, for dusting
• vegetable oil for cooking

For the onion rings:  

• 1 small onion sliced into rings
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 30-45ml (2-3 tbsp) plain flour

To serve:

• toasted slices crusty bread
• mixed salad leaves

Tools

• Kenwood Kitchen Machine
• Mincer
• K Beater

Method

1. Fit the Mincer with the coarse screen and mince the beef into the Kenwood Bowl. For a finer texture pass through the screen again.
2. Add the herbs, lemon juice and rind and a generous sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper. Using the K Beater at minimum speed, mix the ingredients together.
3. Divide into 4 and with floured hands shape into thick burgers. Either brush with oil and place under a preheated grill for about 4 minutes on each side, or shallow fry over a medium heat.
4. Meanwhile make the fried onion rings, dip the rings first into the egg white and then into the flour. Heat 2.5cm (1 inch) oil in a pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, until golden.
5. Serve burgers garnished with onion rings accompanied by toasted crusty bread, mixed salad leaves and the remaining onion rings.
