Aussie Burger with "the lot"

[smoke ninja]

Ever wonder what they put on burgers in the land down under?

Well when i recieved some of AussieMatts bbq burger sauce i had to find out

Apparently picked beets.

I cooked the bacon in the oven. Everything else was done on the blackstone griddle. The burger sauce or eta bbq sauce is common in Austria, Matt sent me his homemade version. Details here: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=240404

Started with onions and pineapple



Added the hand formed pattys



Don't know if the aussies toast bins but i do



Melt the cheese



Burger station. Half the fun was deciding how to construct your burger

From what i read those are the two things an aussie burger has to have.

Pineapple is usually called an Hawaii burger down this end
The beetroot is a must have ,some roadside stops Have non pickled beetroot in them for truckdrivers mainly to stop the stains while driving-your burgers would be a hit all over aussieland mate
They look delicious

 

[Titch]

Yes the buns are generally toasted

So, you don't marinade in Fosters and spread Vegimite on the buns?:shock:

Great job Mr Smoke ninja - you even left out those green Gerkin things and for that you get bonus points

Kangaroo is so passé these days - use tassie devil instead

Burger looks great I think I could handle one with a fosters to wash it down.

I tried kanagaroo meat once. I can't eat it... makes me jumpy. :roll:


That burger looks like an all day sucker though. I'd take one.

Maaaate! I think you nailed it perfectly!! How was the sauce?

Its great. My friend was squirting it all on top their burger. Becky really liked it too.

Its close to steak sauce. Just like your bbq sauce our steak sauce is a misnomer. It goes great on everything but steak.

I do have to give a shoutout to the blackstone griddle. This meal would have been near impossible to pull off in the kitchen. Besides i cant say enough about how fun it is to cook on.

 

[AussieMatt]

Sweet!! :mrgreen:

 

[bbqpitsmoker]

Looks true blue!

 

[Yendor]

I'll take that and a Toohey's Red please.

 

[unzippy]

Did you not core the pineapple?

 

[BillN]

Wow! now that's a burger.

I need a clarification. Are you talking about stains in the truck driver's seat or of stains in general?

Tasty looking burger Ninja!
