Steak Burgers with Rocket and Parmesan Dressing
Cease all arguments between those in the steak camp and those on team burger, for this juicy winner is the best of both pub classics and even comes with a side of homemade chips to fight over.
Recipe
1
Cook Chips
Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced. Cut potatoes into 1cm-thick chips and place on a lined baking tray. Sprinkle with garlic and herb mix, salt and pepper and drizzle with 3 teaspoons oil. Toss to coat and spread out in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. While the chips are cooking, continue with step 2.
2
Pickle Eschalot
Peel and thinly slice eschalot. Juice lemon. Place ½ the lemon juice, eschalot and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside to lightly pickle until ready to serve.
3
Make Parmesan Dressing
Place remaining lemon juice in a bowl with the aioli, parmesan, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
4
Cook Steaks
Heat a large frypan over high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with remaining oil. Cook, turning halfway, for 3 minutes or until golden and just cooked through. Place on a plate, cover with foil and set aside to rest. Wipe out pan.
5
Toast Buns
Return pan to medium-high heat. Halve buns and cook, cut-side down, for 30 seconds or until golden.
6
Plate Up
Halve steaks. Spread a little parmesan dressing on bun bases and top with steak, rocket and pickled onion. Drizzle with remaining parmesan dressing and sandwich with bun tops. Serve with chips.
