Beefcake baguette

• 250g mince (lean steak)
• 1 small onion
• 1 small baguette
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional

• garlic spices
• ketchup relish
• cheese
• salad

Step 1

If the baguette is the bake-your-own type from the supermarket then follow the instructions on the packet to cook. Usually 10 minutes at 180°C / 350ºF / gas mark 4 and then 5-10 minutes to cool.

Step 2

Roughly chop the onion (and garlic).

Step 3

Gently fry the onion (plus garlic & spices) in a little olive oil until the onions soften and brown slightly.

Step 4

Using a food processor blitz the mince together with the onions (& spices).

Step 5

Using 2 sheets of cling film squash the mix into the desired size & shape for the baguette. (Remember the meat will shrink slightly when cooking so make it ~1cm larger than the bread).

Step 6

Grill the burger under a medium heat for 10-15 minutes until cooked all the way through. Add cheese and replace under the grill for another minute if desired.

Step 7

Serve the burger in the baguette and add desired toppings e.g. ketchup relish, salad etc.
