How the humble burger has grown-up, so discount it at your peril. Food snobs may try to decry, but I think a properly made and barbecued burger, with proper add-ons is just about unbeatable, and the only way to eat it is rare, in a bun, using your hands!
Ingredients
- 500g best fillet steak, minced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped

- 8 rashers pancetta
- 1 Avocado, peeled, de-stoned and sliced

Method
- Soften butter and mix with blue cheese, form into roll and chill.
