Tips
1
Preheat the oven grill until hot. Line a shallow baking tray with baking paper.
2
Put the beef mince in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Form into 4 large beef patties. Combine Dijon mustard and hot sauce ready for brushing.
3
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and smear with a little oil.
4
Lower the heat to medium and put in the beef patties. Cook until well browned on both sides, turning once, 6-8 minutes. (I like to use the touch method to gauge if the patties are cooked. For medium-rare the patties should still have some give. For meat that is more cooked the patties should feel firm but not dry).

5
As you turn the beef patties, brush both sides with a little mustard and hot sauce.
6
Transfer the beef patties to the prepared baking tray and top with the cheese. I use a melting cheese like smoked cheddar. Put under the hot grill until the cheese melts – this happens quickly so keep an eye out.
