American Smashed Beef Cheeseburger

• Meanwhile, slice tomato into rounds. Slice onion into 1cm-thick rounds, then separate into rings. Thinly slice spring onion. • In a medium bowl, combine the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add onion rings and toss to coat. • In a second medium bowl, combine beef mince, All-American spice blend, fine breadcrumbs and the eggs. • Using damp hands, shape beef mixture into 1cm-thick patties (2 per person).

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil • over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, shake off excess flour and cook onion rings (in batches), turning occasionally, until golden, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate.

• Wipe out and return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Using a spatula, add beef patties and press down to flatten. Cook until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • In the last minute of cook time, sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese and cover with a lid or foil, until melted.

• Meanwhile, toast or grill burger buns to your liking. • In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
