Italian beef burgers with marinated tomatoes
Sounds fancy, but this is a super easy way to make something special out of regular beef burgers. Basil, Parmesan, garlic and tomato puree flavour the burger mixture, and balsamic-marinated tomatoes top it off. I call it a caprese burger!
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 thick slices tomato
- 600g lean minced beef
- 1 tablespoon tomato puree
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 110g fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 4 burger buns

- Whisk the balsamic vinegar, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over tomato slices to marinate.
- Preheat an outdoor barbecue for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Mix minced beef, tomato puree, basil, Parmesan cheese, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Form beef mixture into 4 equal burgers.
- Cook on the preheated barbecue until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for well done. Top each burger with mozzarella cheese; allow to melt. Serve on burger buns with marinated tomato slices.

Well I haven't actually eaten these burgers yet but they are in the fridge ready to go. I have to say they were the easiest, quickest burgers I have ever made and smell delicious. The tomatoes are marinated and ready to go. I did what the author suggested and swapped the parmesan etc for pesto. Fingers crossed they taste as good as they look!! - 11 Jan 2018
This is a really quick and easy way to make everyday burgers a little bit different. I doubled the amount cooked them under the grill and served them with Potato Wedges, and a side salad. I made extra Balsamic Marinade and used it as a dressing for the salad. No complaints from my family just clean plates. Thanks Sarah for a really nice alternative. - 13 Apr 2014
Hi everyone! I submitted this recipe and since coming up with it have started to substitute about 1/4 cup storebought pesto for the basil, parm and garlic. It's easier and I think even tastier! The marinated tomatoes are a MUST! - 29 Apr 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
