What makes beef patty sandwich a good choice?

This beef patty sandwich is a great alternative to a traditional burger when you want something quick. It uses mince which is often more affordable and easier to find than whole steaks. The recipe is very flexible and works well for both lunch and dinner. You can prepare the patties in advance and cook them whenever you are ready to eat.

A step-by-step guide to beef patty sandwich

Step 1

Prepare meat: Place the beef mince in a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix the seasoning through the meat without overworking it. Shape the mixture into two flat circular patties that are slightly wider than your bread slices.

Step 2

Cook patties: Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the meat to the pan and cook for about four minutes on the first side. Flip the patties over and continue cooking until they are browned and cooked through.

Step 3

Toast bread: While the meat is cooking, toast your bread slices until they are golden brown. You can do this in a toaster or in the pan once the meat is removed. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread.

Step 4

Assemble sandwich: Place a cooked patty on a slice of bread and top it with cheese, onions and tomato slices. Close the sandwich with another piece of bread and press down gently. Serve your beef patty sandwich immediately while it is still warm and juicy.

The best tips for beef patty sandwich

Make sure your pan is properly hot before adding the meat to get a good sear. If the pan is too cold, the meat will steam instead of browning. Press a small dimple into the centre of each patty before cooking to stop them from shrinking too much. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mince for extra depth of flavour.

Using bread with a slightly higher fat content like brioche can make the beef patty sandwich feel more indulgent. If you prefer melted cheese, place the slice on the meat during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan with a lid. This traps the heat and melts the cheese perfectly without overcooking the meat.

Avoid pressing down on the meat with a spatula while it is frying as this squeezes out the juices. Make sure the beef patty sandwich is cooked over medium heat so the outside browns without drying out the middle.

Can I prepare a Beef Patty Sandwich in advance?

You can shape the patties and store them in the fridge for up to twenty four hours before cooking. However, it is best to assemble the beef patty sandwich just before eating to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

What is the best bread for this beef sandwich?

Sourdough or thick white bloomer bread works very well because they can support the weight of the meat. If you want a softer texture, a brioche bun or a standard burger roll is a popular choice for this recipe.
