Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef mince
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp hungarian paprika (sweet paprika)
  • 1 tsp quality salt (grey or pink)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (use more or less depending on how much heat you want) I used ¼ tsp and it was mild in my opinion.

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, until herbs and spices are spread through the meat. Try not to over mix. Roll the mixture into balls approximately the size of a golf ball.
  • Heat a large frypan on medium-high heat. I used a cast iron griddle pan so I didn't use any oil. But you may need a little oil to prevent the burgers from sticking.
  • Place the beef balls onto the hot pan and flatten with the back of a spatula to your desired thickness.
  • Cook for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of your burgers, then flip and cook the other side for a further 2 to 5 minutes. If you are not sure if they are cooked, cut open a burger to check they are cooked through.
