Ingredients
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 500 g beef mince
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups mixed frozen vegetables
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- ¼ cup American mustard, plus extra to serve
- ½ cup tomato sauce, plus extra to serve
- 1 tsp cornflour mixed with ¼ cup cold water (optional)
- 3 cups shredded tasty cheese
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, separated into cups
- Pickles, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based heat-proof frying pan. Season the beef mince generously with salt and pepper, then mould into a large round puck and place into the frying pan. Fry on both sides, until well-browned. Add the onion and fry for a further 2 minutes, until softened and lightly browned, then break up the mince puck with a wooden spoon.
- Stir through the frozen vegetables, soy sauce, mustard and tomato sauce with a splash of water if needed. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until the mince is cooked through. Thicken the mince with a cornflour slurry, if needed. Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the beef mince with the cheese, then place under the grill for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from the grill and serve the cheeseburger sang choy bao with the lettuce cups, pickles and extra mustard and tomato sauce.
