Beef Burgers

Burgers are a common thing, but very attractive. If you make homemade from natural products - generally a culinary masterpiece. To make the cutlets juicy, it is better to twist the mince from different parts of the beef, and instead of the popular brioche bun, take ciabatta - in our opinion, it is ideal. Otherwise, everything is simple here: the recipe only has meat, tomatoes, pickles and romaine lettuce, sauce - Dijon mustard and mayonnaise, which, by the way, is easy to make at home. This dish can be served with potatoes or without any side dish.
1
Cut all the meat into small cubes, salt it, and leave it at room temperature for an hour, then grind it in a meat grinder - so that the strips of minced meat lay on the film in layers without mixing. Add pepper, carefully roll the film with the meat to form a sausage, and place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Slice the meat sausage into patties about 2.5 cm thick. Heat vegetable oil in a pan and fry the patties for one minute on each side: they will look cooked on the outside but remain raw inside. Then transfer them to a baking sheet and send them to an oven preheated to 180 degrees for five to seven minutes.
