Ingredients

400g Butcher's Selection Lean Beef Mince (Typically Less Than 5% Fat)

2tsp Worcestershire sauce

4tsp English mustard

4tbsp black peppercorns, crushed

2tbsp white wine vinegar

1tsp caster sugar

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1½tbsp rapeseed oil, plus oil for deep frying

50g cornflour

20g plain flour

75ml sparkling water

1 medium white onion, cut into thin slices and separated into rings

4 brioche buns, halved

4 eggs

3tbsp light mayonnaise

40g Asda Mild Bistro Salad

2 vine tomatoes, sliced

Method

1
Put the beef mince, Worcestershire sauce and half the mustard in a large bowl and mix with your hands. Divide into 4 and shape into patties.
2
Put the crushed peppercorns on a plate and coat each burger in them, pushing down so the pepper sticks. Put on a tray, cover in clingfilm and chill for at least 30 mins.
3
Meanwhile, put the vinegar and sugar in a pan and warm over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from the heat and add the red onion. Leave to pickle for 15 mins, stirring regularly. Drain and pat the onion dry.
4
To make the onion rings, heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or deep pan to 170C. Put the flours and sparkling water in a bowl and whisk to form a thin batter. Coat the white onion rings in the batter, carefully lower into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 mins until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove onto a plate lined with kitchen roll
5
Meanwhile, heat a BBQ or griddle pan to medium. Brush each side of the burgers with rapeseed oil and cook for 3-4 mins on each side until cooked through. Remove to a plate, cover with foil and leave to rest for 5 mins.
6
Put the buns, cut-side down, on the BBQ or griddle and toast for about 1 min, until golden.
7
Heat the remaining oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over a high heat and fry the eggs for 3 mins until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny.
8
Mix the mayonnaise with the remaining mustard and spread onto the base of each brioche bun. Top with the salad, tomatoes, a burger, pickled onions, a fried egg, onion rings and the bun lids.
