Drunken Aussie Beef Burgers

Our iconic Aussie burger gets a drunken make over with a beer spiked juicy beef burger patty, layered with crispy bacon, caramelised pineapple, melted cheese, fried onion rings, sweet beetroot, ripened tomatoes and a fried egg. Drunken Aussie Beef Burgers.

Druinken Aussie Beef Burgers-43

Steaming hot burger patties fresh off the pan, made with an Aussie staple: beer. And since we love our beer so much, I thought, ‘heeeyyyyy….add it into the burger’! Have I lost you? Stay with me.

The one burger I always order and forever when we go everywhere — basically a burger on steroids. There’s so many good flavours that go into this burger, the usual calorie and fat content is enough to scare anyone. So, I lightened it up.

And ladies and gentlemen…the best burger to warm the shackles of your heart.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 500 g | 1lb extra lean beef mince (*See Notes)
  • 2 cloves garlic , crushed
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/3 cup | 80ml of your favourite beer/lager
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 4 shortcut bacon pieces , fat removed
  • 1/2 onion , thinly sliced
  • 4 slices pineapple canned in natural juice
  • Handful of rocket/arugula (or lettuce)
  • 8 slices beetroot
  • 4 slices cheese of choice (I use fat-free Cheddar)
  • 1 tomato , sliced and divided
  • 4 medium bread rolls of choice , halved
  • Tomato sauce
  • Mayonnaise (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine meat together with the garlic, sauce and lager. Mix well with your hands for about a minute, until the meat has combined with the other ingredients. Divide meat mixture into 4 parts and firmly mould them into round patties about 1-inch thick.
  • Heat a grill pan/skillet on medium-high heat. Sear hamburgers on both sides until golden and cooked to your liking.
  • While the burgers are frying, fry the onion and bacon in a separate pan, until the onion is transparent and fragrant and the bacon is crispy on both sides.
  • Transfer bacon and onion onto a paper towel; wipe pan over; add a drizzle of oil and fry the eggs until cooked to your liking.
  • When the burger patties are done, transfer them onto a warmed plate; wipe pan over with a paper towel; and fry the pineapple rings (about 1 minute each side until caramelised).
  • Build your burgers! Layer the base of each bun with the lettuce/arugula, beetroot slices, burger patties, cheese, pineapple rings, bacon, onion rings, tomato slices and the fried egg. Drizzle with tomato sauce and (optional) mayonnaise; top with remaining bun piece and serve!

Notes

*Lighten this burger up even more with Lean Ground Turkey Mince!

    The first time I visited Australia, I had an Aussie Burger…and then I had one almost everyday I was there! (Good thing I run long distance, otherwise I would have turned into a house!) Since then, any subsequent visit requires at least a couple of Aussie Burgers and a visit to Miss Marples in Sassafras. I have yet to make Aussie Burgers here in the States, but I have told many, many people how yummy they are. Of course, as soon as I tell them beets and a fried egg are involved, many turn up their noses…but now, seeing this post and the gorgeous photos, I feel compelled to make Aussie Burgers here! (I have been making my usual burger with Cambazola cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, and a drizzle of truffle oil). Thank you for the inspiration!

    These came out fantastic. I now like beets! I put them on pretzel hamburger rolls. Next time I might do a combo burger. Carne Asada Guacamole and the Drunk Assie burger!

      Wow Andy a combo burger? I love it! I might try that too myself 🙂
      I’m so happy you tried these and they’ve converted you to beets! That’s definitely very cool 🙂 Thank you for commenting!

    This marks the first time I have ever been turned on by a burger. Can hardly wait to make these, but I think I will save them for a hot summer day. Now if only I could find some Australian beer in Canada to go along with them.
