Or is it Steak Haché? ...


Steak Haché, as you may have gathered is French – it's a posh burger without the bun and uses high quality ground beef - as fresh as you can get. I used Aberdeen Angus 5% fat minced steak for my burgers and was delighted with the result. If you're serving to people who say they don't like burgers then call it steak haché and they'll never know!

I digress - back to your Sunday cooking stash and the jacket potatoes and grated cheese. I'd like to point out the obvious, it's Friday and you're exhausted. Slicing cooked jacket potatoes into wedge shapes and placing on a baking sheet and then sprinkling with grated cheese isn't too taxing.

Your burgers and your wedges need 20 minutes although if you like your wedges crispier then pop them in for 10 minutes and then add the burgers for 20 – don't forget to set your timer. You can reduce the cooking time if you like your burger/haché medium – it depends on the size of burger. As a guide if you pan fry for 3-4 minutes each side you'll get slightly pink.

Whilst you're waiting slice an onion – a sweet variety or Spanish is good too, slice a beef tomato and place on top of the onion and add a generous drizzle of Balsamic glaze – salt and black pepper to suit.

Here are the photos :


my bowl of ingredients – it looks
positively artistic!

To answer my question, I think it's both – the purists may scoff but I don't care.

Enjoy your supper!
