Prep Time: 00:15

Recipe Time: 02:00

Temperature : 135F / 57.2C

Ingredients

• 8oz Good Quality Mince
• 4oz Blue Cheese (Saint Agur?)
• 4-5 Glugs of Worcestershire Sauce
• Dessert Spoon of Mayonnaise
• Salt and Pepper
• Burger Buns
• Serve With Salad and Fries

Directions

1. Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 135ºF / 57.2ºC
2. Put the mince into a bowl and season generously with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Add mayonnaise (this helps to bind the mixture) and stir everything together being careful not to overwork the mixture.
3. Divide the mixture equally into four and shape into balls, we'll use two for each burger.
4. Put each ball in between two pieces of greaseproof paper and, using a saucepan, press them into disc shapes.
5. Place a generous amount of blue cheese in the centre of two of the discs.
6. Then make a sandwich by placing the other disc on top and shape the patties by hand. Use a little cold water on your fingers to help seal the edges. This will avoid leakage when the cheese melts.
7. Put the burgers into a ziplock bag and expel the air using the displacement technique. I choose this method over vacuum sealing to avoid squashing and compressing the patties
8. Put the bag into the waterbath and set the timer for two hours.

Remove, sear, serve and enjoy!

1. When the timer goes off, remove the burgers from the bag and dab them dry with a paper towel.
2. Sear them in a hot pan, under a grill, or on a BBQ to give them a nice colour.
3. Serve in a toasted bun with salad and fries.
4. And oh! Just a word of warning... Be careful when you take the first bite. That hot, molten cheese just can't wait to get out!
