This classic beef burger deluxe is the ultimate high-protein meal for those seeking a satisfying, steakhouse-quality experience at home. By using beef chuck with a slightly higher fat content, you ensure a juicy result that remains tender throughout the grilling process. A simple seasoning of salt and pepper allows the rich, savoury flavour of the meat to take centre stage, while the soft potato rolls provide the perfect textural contrast.

Ideal for a weekend barbecue or a hearty midweek dinner, these burgers are designed to be customisable with your favourite toppings. Whether you prefer traditional cheddar or a hit of spice with chillies, this versatile base recipe is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Serve alongside a fresh green salad or oven-baked potato wedges for a balanced, protein-packed meal that the whole family will enjoy.

How to make The BA Burger Deluxe

Back to contents

Form beef into eight 4"-diameter, 3/4"-thick patties (don't pack too tightly). Using your thumb, make a small indentation in centres to help keep patties flat as they cook.

Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Season patties with salt and pepper and grill until lightly charred on bottom, about 4 minutes. (Resist the temptation to press down on patties.) Flip and top with cheese, if using. Grill patties to desired doneness, about 4 minutes longer for medium. Serve patties on rolls with desired toppings.
