500gramsground beef
halfred onionfinely diced
1egg
1teaspoonmustardI love using Dijon
Worcestershire saucea couple dashes to taste
handfulbread crumbsoptional
fresh thyme
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
Add water to a tall pot or heat-safe container, attach your immersion cooker heat water to 56C/133F. Cover to speed up heating.
Place the meat, onions and breadcrumbs (if using) in a large stainless steel bowl. Whisk the egg, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a measuring cup and add to the bowl with the meat and onions. Combine well.
Separate the mixture into 200-gram pieces and shape into balls with your hands, then flatten with your palms or the bottom of a cup/glass. If you have a burger mold, even better.
Place the formed burgers in a resealable bag, single layer and top each side with a sprig of fresh thyme. When the water reaches temperature, add the bag of burgers to the heated water bath using the displacement method.
Cook for 30 to 60 minutes, remove from bath, salt and pepper, then sear, grill or torch for less than 60 seconds per side. Top with your favourite toppings and enjoy!
