Meat Eater’s Asian-British Burgers

Want some good old fashioned tasty burgers with a twist? If you think making your own burgers from scratch is hard, then this recipe will show you how simple it really is. They’ve been a big it every time I make these. They’re a little spicy, with a lot of different flavors mixed in. Hope you like them too.

The name of the recipe may sound confusing, so let me explain. First a disclaimer, I am not British. I am a Filipino. The British part comes from the fact that it is a version of a burger recipe that a British friend of mine gave me. I modified it to suit my Asian palette. In various places in the internet, I use the handle meat eater. Thus I claimed it as mine.

The ingredients (feel free to adjust according to your taste):

  • 800 grams ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce (hope I spelled that right)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1/2 large onion chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon of ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon chopped chinese celery (optional)
  • 5 strips of bacon sliced into small pieces
  • cooking oil for frying
  • 4 hamburger buns
  1. Making the patties is very easy. Just combine the beef, bread crumbs, onions, bacon and the chinese celery in a bowl. Do this until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  2. Season the mixture with soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. You may add some salt if you like. Again, mix everything thoroughly.
  3. Heat pan with oil for frying. Divide the burger mixture into 4 patties. You may make more patties if you want them smaller.
  4. Fry the burgers, one side at a time until desired doneness. Drain oil from patties and put in the hamburger buns. You may put in anything you want with it, like your choice of vegetables and cheese.

I often serve these with potato fries cooked in the same fat as the burgers (the more to clog your arteries with). I also sometimes replace the cayenne with tabasco pepper sauce, they’re really good.

Enjoy!
