🥘 Ingredients

• Lean beef mince (5% fat) - 150 g

👨‍🍳 Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
2. Place the potato wedges onto a baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
3. While the wedges are cooking, place the beef mince, diced onion, tomato purée, Worcestershire sauce and freshly ground black pepper into a mixing bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
4. Shape the mixture into one burger approximately 2cm thick.
5. Heat a frying pan or grill pan over a medium-high heat.
6. Cook the burger for 5–6 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked all the way through.
7. During the final 2 minutes, lightly warm the burger bun.
8. Place the burger into the bun and top with the lettuce and tomato slices.
9. Serve immediately with the oven-baked potato wedges.
