Hamdog (hot-dog au steak haché)

The hamdog is an Australian speciality that replaces the sausage in a hot dog with a grilled beef patty, served in a soft bun with onions, gherkins and sauces. It's a popular snack at beach stalls and neighbourhood festivals.

Instructions

  1. Finely slice the yellow onion and the red onion, then chop the parsley.
  2. In a bowl, mix the minced beef, yellow onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and paprika. Mix just enough to combine.
  3. Shape 4 thick patties about 1.5 cm thick, slightly wider than the buns, and press a small dip into the centre.
  4. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  5. Place a slice of cheddar on each patty during the last minute of cooking so it melts.
  6. Lightly toast the insides of the buns in the pan or in the toaster.
  7. Fill each bun with salad, a cheese patty, sliced red onion and gherkins, then add the mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise.
  8. Close up and serve straight away, with chips on the side.

Variations and tips

Bacon version. Add a slice of grilled bacon on each patty before the cheese.

Using what's easy to find. Hot-dog buns can be replaced with small brioche rolls or burger buns.
