2. Mix pureed onion with the mayonnaise.

Burger Patty

1. Divide minced beef into about 120 g for each serving. Shape them into a “tennis ball shape” patty, then chill in the refrigerator.

4. Add salt and cracked black pepper to your taste. Let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Carefully turn the patty. Add a piece of cheddar cheese. Let it cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
