Method

For the pickle beer pickles (pre-prepped)
1

Top and tail zucchini, and slice to your required thickness.

2

Make pickling liquid by combining remaining ingredients, set aside.

3

Throw into a large jar or small jars and simply pour pickling liquid over, make sure the zucchini is covered.

4

Chill and leave the pickles overnight, or for a minimum of 6 hours.

For the mustard beer sauce
1

Get all the spices ready.

2

In a medium sauce pan (pot), heat up the oil gently on a low heat, add spices, slowly stir until fragrant, this will take a minute or two.

3

Add the flour, it will start bubbling, keep stirring, you want to cook the flour for a minute or so. Pour in 150ml of beer, make sure you keep stirring the sauce, otherwise the flour and spices will sink to the bottom and burn.

4

Cook for a further 4 minutes until slightly thickened, add salt and sugar and set aside.

For the burgers
1

Butter your buns and set aside. Turn your oven grill on.

2

Form the beef into 4 even patties.

3

Grab a pan, preferably a cast iron one, and bring up to a medium/hot heat.

4

Put a little oil on each patty, along with a generous amount of salt and cracked pepper.

5

Throw the patties in the pan and cook on that side until you can see the blood coming up through the middle of the patties.

6

Flip them over and put your sliced cheese on the cooked side, put a splash of water in the pan and cover with a lid for 30 seconds.

7

Remove and continue cooking to your desired temp. Put aside to rest.

8

Put the buttered buns under the grill and put the Mustard Beer sauce on a low heat if it has cooled. Watch them both carefully.

9

When the buns are nicely toasted, you are ready to put your burgers together.
