Ingredients

• 1 pound beef mince
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 1/3 cup beer
• salt and pepper, to season
• 4 eggs
• 4 rashers of bacon, fat removed
• 1/2 ounce onion, thinly sliced
• 4 slices canned pineapple
• handful of arugula
• 8 slices beetroot
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 burger buns
• ketchup
• mayonnaise

Directions

1. Using your hands, combine the beef, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and beer together in a medium bowl, until well mixed. Divide into 4 parts, and mold them into 1-inch thick patties.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear burgers on both sides until golden and cooked to desired doneness.
3. While the burgers are frying, fry the onion and bacon in a separate pan, until the onion is transparent, and the bacon is crisp. Transfer bacon and onion to a paper towel.
4. Wipe the pan used for the onion and bacon with paper towel. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry until cooked to your liking.
5. When the burger patties are done, transfer them onto a warmed plate. Wipe the pan with paper towel, and add the pineapple rings. Fry for 1 minute on each side, until caramelized.
6. To assemble, layer the base of each bun in this order: arugula, beetroot slices, burger patties, Cheddar, pineapple rings, bacon, onions, tomato, fried egg. Drizzle with ketchup and mayonnaise, and top with the remaining half of the bun. Serve immediately.
