All this in just five minutes? Bhasin accepts the challenge (Sorted Food)

Nothing says summer like a juicy, flavour-packed burger straight off the grill, but what if you’re short on time?

According to Sorted Food’s Kush Bhasin, all you need is five minutes.

In the Sub-10 Minute Burger Challenge on their YouTube channel, Bhasin topped the leaderboard with an impressive 1 minute 58 seconds cooking time.

Luckily for us, he later refined the recipe so we can achieve the same greatness in just five minutes.

Five-minute burger

Makes: 1

Takes: 5 mins

Ingredients:

250g beef mince

50g gherkins, sliced

½ gem lettuce

1 tbsp American mustard

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tbsp ketchup

1 burger bun, sliced

4 American-style cheese slices

Method:

Preheat the grill/broiler to high. Place a large frying pan over a high heat.

Form the beef mince into 2 very thin burger-shaped patties, and then place them into the large

frying pan, smashing them down as you go. Cook for 45 seconds and then flip the patties – repeat on the 2nd side until well browned all over.

Finely chop the gherkins and shred the lettuce.

Place the mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, gherkins, and lettuce into a medium mixing bowl and mix until well combined.

Toast the burger buns under the grill for 1 minute until golden brown.

Once the burger patties are coloured on both sides, season lightly with salt and pepper. Add 2 slices of cheese to each. Add 1 tbsp of water to the pan and cover with a lid to steam and melt the cheese for 20 seconds.

Layer the burger sauce and burger patties onto the burger bun base and top with the bun lid.

Serve.
