Asian Beef Burgers

These are super moist burgers with a slight, but not overpowering, asian flavour. Thank-you Oyster sauce.

Makes 15 small burger patties

750g minced beef

1 zucchini, grated and juice squeezed out

2 Tbsp polenta

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 Tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped

2 spring onions, green parts only, finely sliced

4 Tbsp oyster sauce*

1 tsp ground coriander

½ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp white pepper

Prepare a plate or baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, getting your hands into it to make sure it’s thoroughly combined. Roll balls of mixture in your hands and pat down to approximately the size of your palm. Lay patties out on the prepared plate.

Once all patties have been made, cover and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a BBQ to high heat. Place patties on grill and cook, turning after a few minutes.

Serve with salad and extra oyster sauce.
