The Classic Aussie Burger: A True Taste of Australia with Fried Egg and Beetroot
If you’ve ever visited an Australian chippie, you’ve probably come across this iconic burger recipe where a fried egg, sliced beetroot and fried white onions are a must-have combination to complement a big, juicy beef patty. The beetroot adds an addictive earthy flavour, and in true Australian style, the white onions are best fried on a barbecue with beer poured over them.
Beef and Beetroot: A Harmonious Flavour Combination
Beef and beetroot complement each other in both flavour and texture. Beetroot has a natural, earthy sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the deep, umami-rich flavour of beef. Beef burger patties are fatty and full-bodied, which allows the cooling, earthy quality of the beetroot to cut through nicely.
