Beef, Beetroot and Blue Cheese Brioche Burgers with Kumara Chips

Steps

1. oven to 200oC. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate or grill to medium-high (if using).
2. Toss kumara chips on first prepared tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 20 minutes, until tender. Turn once halfway to ensure even cooking.
3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably heavy-based fry-pan on medium-high heat. Pat beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
4. Cook beef sirloin steak, fat-side-down, for 3 minutes to start with, to render the out the fat. Then cook beef for 2 minutes on the other 3 sides for medium-rare (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Set aside, covered with foil, to rest for at least 5 minutes.
5. While the beef cooks, cut buns in half and place, cut-side-up on, second prepared tray. Thinly slice tomato and blue cheese set both aside. When beef is resting, toast buns for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and warmed through.
6. Remove buns from oven, smear 1-2 tablespoons of beetroot relish on the base of each bun and top with a handful of rocket. Place blue cheese on the lids of the buns. Once beef has rested, thinly slice against the grain and place on top of the rocket along with slices of tomato. Top with lids.
7. place a burger on each plate and serve kumara chips on side.
