Ingredients

12 ounces good quality minced beef

4 ounces french blue cheese

2 hamburger bun or 2piece French bread, halved

2 tablespoons bearnaise sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 red onion, peeled and sliced into rings

lettuce, washed and shredded

tomato, sliced

cornichon, sliced

pepper

Béarnaise Sauce

1 cup butter, melted and hot

3 egg yolks

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dry tarragon

Directions

1Heat/light up your barbeque and allow the flames to die down.

2Season the beef with pepper, but NO salt - salt draws out the juices and toughens the meat! (You can add salt if you need it at the end.).

3With damp hands - shape the minced beef into two patties/burgers.

4Cook the burgers to your liking - remember to place your blue cheese on top of the burgers to melt just before serving; then toast the burger buns or French bread.

5Assemble your burger like so: bottom bun: lettuce, tomatoes, Bearnaise sauce and burger with melted blue cheese. Spread the Dijon mustard on the top bun, then place the onions and cornichons on top of the burger, with an extra dollop of Bearnaise sauce if you wish - then add the top bun.

6If making these for a crowd - have all the condiments and salad ingredients handy and on a platter - and people can help themselves, as soon as the burgers are cooked.

7You could fry your onion - but I like the taste of raw red onion in these burgers!

Béarnaise Sauce

PREPARATION:

Put onions, vinegar, tarragon and pepper in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to about 1-2 teaspoons of liquid. Stir constantly. Remove from stove and let cool. Put egg yolks and cooled mixture in a blender.
