Grilled Burgers with Meyer Lemon Butter

This high-protein dish offers a sophisticated twist on a classic barbecue favourite. By stuffing the beef patties with a fragrant Meyer lemon and herb butter, you ensure every bite is incredibly succulent and infused with a bright, floral citrus flavour. It is a simple yet effective technique that elevates the homemade burger from a standard weekday meal to a gourmet summer treat.

Ideal for outdoor entertaining or a filling weekend dinner, these burgers are best served in toasted sesame buns with peppery rocket and sliced tomatoes. The combination of rich minced beef and zesty tarragon butter creates a balanced, savoury profile that will impress your guests. If you cannot find Meyer lemons, regular lemons work perfectly well to provide that essential zingy finish.

Ingredients for Grilled Burgers with Meyer Lemon Butter

  • 90ml (3/4 stick) butter, room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated Meyer lemon peel or regular lemon peel

  • 1 teaspoon fresh Meyer lemon juice or regular lemon juice

  • 675g beef mince (15% fat)

  • Óleo vegetal (para pincelar)

  • 4 sesame seed hamburger buns

  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced crosswise

  • 1 bunch rocket

  • Ingredient info: Meyer lemons are a bit sweeter than regular lemons and have a slight floral note. They're available at some supermarkets and farmers' markets.

Mix butter, all herbs, lemon peel, and lemon juice in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Measure 80g herb butter; transfer to sheet of plastic wrap (reserve remaining butter in bowl for spreading on buns). Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 3-inch-long log; wrap plastic around to seal. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut crosswise into 4 rounds. Flatten rounds into 2-inch-diameter disks.

Divide meat into 4 equal pieces. Using damp hands, form each piece into ball. Using thumb, make deep wide indentation in centre of each ball. Press 1 lemon-butter round flatly into indentation, then press meat securely over butter to enclose. Flatten each burger into 31/2-inch-diameter patty, leaving butter rounds horizontally in centre of each burger. DO AHEAD: Herb butter and burgers can be made 6 hours ahead. Place burgers on baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill. Cover and chill herb butter in bowl; bring to room temperature before continuing.

Brush barbecue rack with oil. Prepare barbecue (high heat). Sprinkle both sides of burgers with salt and pepper. Spread remaining butter over cut sides of buns. Grill burgers until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Grill buns until slightly charred, about 1 minute per side.

Place burgers on bun bottoms. Top with tomato slices and rocket leaves. Cover with bun tops and serve.
