There are few things more satisfying than a perfectly cooked burger, and with the Beefer you can take this humble classic to gourmet heights. The Beefer’s extreme heat of up to 1500°F allows you to achieve that restaurant quality sear in seconds while keeping the inside juicy and full of flavour. Add to that the fact you can build your own burger recipe from scratch using high quality steak mince, and you have the ultimate combination of authenticity and creativity at home.
🔥 Why Heat Matters
The Beefer functions like a professional salamander grill, which is why it creates results that regular barbecues or gas grills cannot match. The intense top mounted ceramic burner caramelises the outside of your burger instantly, producing that all important Maillard crust while locking in the juices. This quick sear prevents overcooking and keeps your burger moist, tender and flavourful.
🥩 Choosing the Right Mince
For the best burger, start with steak mince that has a fat content of around 20 percent. Too lean and your burger will dry out; too fatty and it will become greasy. UK grass fed beef is an excellent choice, delivering outstanding flavour and texture. Popular cuts for mincing include ribeye, chuck or brisket. Mixing two cuts can add even more depth of flavour.
🍔 Cooking Tips
Shape your burgers gently so they hold together but are not compacted.
Keep them at least 2cm thick to withstand the Beefer’s heat.
Use the lower grate setting for thicker burgers and adjust to avoid overcharring.
Let burgers rest briefly before adding toppings to retain juices.
🌟 The Perfect Burger Recipe
Classic Beefer Burger – 200g grass fed steak mince, sea salt, black pepper. Cook to medium rare for the perfect crust and juicy centre.
Cheese Lovers – Add a slice of mature cheddar, stilton or gruyère at the resting stage to melt beautifully.
Italian Inspired – Top with mozzarella, roasted peppers and fresh basil.
BBQ Special – Brush with a little smoky BBQ sauce and top with grilled onions.
The Gourmet – Crown your burger with sautéed mushrooms, caramelised onions and truffle mayo.
🥗 Topping and Side Suggestions
Burgers are all about personal taste, but here are some favourite combinations:
Crisp lettuce, tomato and red onion for freshness.
Pickles and mustard for tang.
Avocado or guacamole for creaminess.
Coleslaw or a simple side salad for crunch.
Pair with chunky chips, sweet potato fries or even jacket potatoes for a hearty finish.
