Recipe: The Aussie Beef Burger
It’s all about the Beetroot and Fried Egg.
Yes that’s correct. Like most of the burger featured on Flaevor, what burger is complete without a gooey fried egg. A fried egg on top of sliced beetroot, on top of melted cheddar cheese, fried white onions and a juicy beef patty. A burger that some of you may have eaten from a local Australian chippie if you ever were in Australia, which almost always has a fried egg and beetroot on it.
Beef and Beetroot
because beetroot is dense in texture and sweet in flavour it pairs harmoniously with rich fatty meats such as beef (also pork and duck). When used in this burger recipe, the cooling quality cuts through the salty cheese, mayo sauce and gooey fried egg to give balance to the overall combination of tastes.
