Method

  1. 1

    Cook the onions slowly in a little oil for 20 minutes, add sugar and IPA and reduce to a jammy glaze.

  2. 2

    Divide the mince into 8 loose balls. Do not compact them.

  3. 3

    Smash each ball flat on a screaming hot pan, season, and cook 90 seconds a side.

    Top each patty with cheese in the last 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Stack two patties per toasted bun with IPA onions and jalapeños. Serve with the IPA cold.

Kwai Lekr Wine

🍷 What Should I Pour?

The bold, smokey dark fruit profile of Pinotage complements the caramelised onions and charred beef while standing up to the heat of the jalapeños. A South African Shiraz also works beautifully, offering spicy undertones that echo the IPA's bitterness and handle the richness of the cheese.
