Cheesy Beefburgers

500g/1lb 2oz lean minced beef

2 tblspns light soy sauce

1 tspn dried mixed herbs

ground black pepper

40g/1.5 oz cheddar cheese

sunflower oil

1. Put the mince into a bowl and break it up with a fork

2. Add the soy sauce, herbs and pepper

3. Mix well and divide into four. Squeeze each lump into a round flat shape

4. Cut the cheese into four cubes. Press a cube into each burger and cover with the mixture

5. Oil the rack of a grill pan, and cook the burgers for seven minutes under a medium grill

6. Flip and cook for another seven minutes

7. Check that they do not become too brown. Press a fork on a burger to test it: medium cooked ones feel springy, well-done ones feel firm.

Tip: Dip your hands in cold water to stop the mixture from sticking to them.

Alternatives: Omit the cheese, and use other types of mince, e.g. pork, turkey
