Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Ground beef 80/20 fat ratio works best
  • Salt and pepper
  • Butter
  • 2 Bananas Ripe bananas

Instructions
 

Cooking the Burgers

  • Add a large knob of butter to a frying pan (I like a stainless steel frying pan) and heat over a medium heat
  • Once the pan is hot and butter coated, place the burger patties down, leaving space between them. Don’t press the patties with my spatula since that squeezes out juices.
  • Cook for a few minutes until browned and then turn and cook for a few more minutes until they are cooked through. During cooking this it what made a big difference between the burgers being dry and being moist. Use a spoon to spoon the butter over the burgers while they were cooking, do this continuously while cooking them.
  • When flipping, use a thin, flexible spatula to gently lift the burger without breaking it. After cooking remove the frying pan, let the burgers rest a few minutes to keep juices inside, if you've used plenty of butter to cook them you can pat them dry with kitchen roll so they aren't too greasy.
  • In the same pan if you need to add more butter do so and make sure it's melted.
  • Add sliced pieces of the banana to the frying pan and cook until slightly browned on either side.
  • Plate up the burgers with slices of banana on top.

Notes

Tips and Tricks for Full-On Flavor and Burger Success
  • Don’t press the burger down when cooking; it squeezes out juices.
  • Use a stainless steel pan over a non-stick if you want that perfect crust. Butter adds flavor and helps with browning, but watch it so it doesn’t burn too much.
  • For fried bananas, make sure the butter is warm enough so the bananas don't absorb too much.
  • Finally, let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
 
This is for 2 people when they have 2 burgers each and 1 banana.
