How to Make Aussie Shovel Burgers
- Prepare the patties: In a large bowl, gently combine the beef mince, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined – be careful not to overmix.
- Form patties: Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your buns.
- Prepare the shovel: Place a clean, metal shovel (suitable for cooking) over hot coals. Ensure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent heat.
- Heat the lard: Add the lard to the hot shovel. Once shimmering, carefully place the patties onto the shovel.
- Cook the patties: Cook the burgers for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your patties and the heat of the coals.
- Warm the buns: While the burgers cook, place the hamburger buns directly on the edge of the coals to gently toast and warm. Lightly butter both sides of each bun.
- Assemble the burgers: Once the burgers are cooked, place a patty on each bottom bun. Top with lettuce, cheese, tomato, and beetroot slices.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your delicious Aussie Shovel Burgers straight off the shovel!
