For this recipe, you'll need a Sunbeam Multi Zone Air Fryer Oven. This recipe makes 2 burgers that are double stacked or 4 single burgers. When making homemade burgers, look for a higher fat minced beef. This is important to retain a juicy burger that’s rich in flavour.

Ingredients:

  • 500g minced beef
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (adds great flavour)
  • 4 slices burger cheese
  • 2 or 4 Brioche burger buns, toasted
  • Burger sauce
  • Curly lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomato
  • Sliced gherkins

Let's make it:

Step 1:

Place the minced beef into a bowl and break up. Season generously with the salt and pepper, add the Worcestershire and fish sauce and mix together. Divide into 4 piles.

Step 2:

Remove the middle partition from your air fryer, place the large roasting tray into the air fryer and heat on turbo crisp for 5 minutes.

Step 3:

Add the 2 piles to the tray, slightly flatten down and place back into the air fryer oven.

Step 4:

Select grill and adjust the time to 8 minutes.

Step 5:

Cook the burgers for a couple of minutes, then remove the tray, add a small piece of baking parchment to each burger then flatten down (smash down fully) until the meat piles are flattened.

Step 6:

Place back into the air fryer and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Step 7:

Remove the tray and turn over the burgers, adding a cheese slice for the last minute of cooking.

Step 8:

Once cooked, remove from the air fryer oven, wrap loosely in a little foil and repeat with the remaining 2 burgers.

Step 9:

Build your burgers with the sauce, lettuce, sliced tomato and gherkins and serve immediately.
