Hamburgers
Homemade hamburgers made with fresh rib eye steak, garlic and onion, bound with egg and stale bread.

Seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, sea salt and pepper, these patties beat any shop-bought version and are ready for the pan or barbecue in minutes.
About this recipe
Homemade hamburgers with the Thermomix TM7 are a game-changer for anyone searching for a quick weeknight dinner with real flavour. Instead of buying pre-minced meat of uncertain quality, you start with a beautiful piece of rib eye steak, and the all-in-one kitchen machine grinds it fresh in the bowl, giving you control over texture and fat content. Garlic and onion are chopped in seconds without tears, the soaked stale bread and egg are mixed through evenly, and Worcestershire sauce, sea salt and freshly ground pepper complete that classic burger taste. The difference is immediately noticeable: the patties stay juicy, hold together on the grill and deliver a deep, beefy flavour that shop-bought versions simply cannot match. Whether you are firing up the barbecue in summer or using a hot frying pan on a rainy Tuesday evening, these burgers turn an ordinary meal into a small celebration. It is also a brilliant recipe to prepare with children, who love shaping the patties. Anyone browsing for Thermomix TM7 hamburger recipes will find this version straightforward, satisfying and endlessly adaptable.
Preparation tips
- Cut the rib eye steak into cubes and freeze briefly before grinding so the Thermomix minces it cleanly rather than smearing it, giving burgers a lovely coarse texture.
- Use stale bread soaked in a splash of water or milk, then squeeze it out well before adding: this keeps the patties wonderfully moist on the grill or in the pan.
- Chill the shaped patties in the fridge before cooking so they hold their shape, and press a small dimple in the centre with your thumb to stop them puffing up.
Recipe variations
- For a gluten-free version, replace the stale bread with a gluten-free roll or breadcrumbs soaked in the same way; the egg and Worcestershire sauce still bind everything into firm, juicy burgers.
- For a festive barbecue variation, fold chopped fresh herbs or a spoonful of grated aged cheese into the beef mixture, or serve the burgers with caramelised onion and smoked bacon for a gourmet twist.
