1
Place the meat, egg, garlic shallot, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix through with your hands. Do this until everything is as even as possible - you wouldn't want to get a mouthful of onion or garlic! Divide the burger mix into 4 equal parts. Form each burger by rolling it into a ball in your hands and flatten a little, but keep them nice and thick.
2
Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan, when hot, place the burgers in the pan. The heat should be medium/hot.
3
The cooking time will depend on how thick you make your burger and how you like them cooked. I find that my burgers take about 4 to 6 minutes on each side for a burger that is about 3cm thick (just over an inch) for a medium result.
