Fire up your appetite for this tasty dish! Stack your perfect burger, drenched in a mouthwatering BBQ basting made extra delicious with Selati Brown Sugar. 

Sticky BBQ basting sauce 

Makes 1½ cups 

Ingredients 

⅔ cup tomato sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
½ cup (100g) Selati Brown Sugar 
1 tsp (5g) salt
1½ tsp (5g) smoked paprika
4 cloves garlic, grated   

For serving 

4 beef patties 
½ cup cheddar, grated
4 seeded burger rolls, halved and toasted
Mayonnaise for spreading
4 slices tomato
Handful lettuce
Cooked chips   

Method 

1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat. 
2. Bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring until the sugar has dissolved for about 5-7 minutes. (Reducing the sauce increases the salt, but an extra pinch of Selati Sugar and splash of water will balance this out).  
3. Remove from the heat and cool.  
4. For luscious burgers, cook patties on a braai or in a pan over high heat until almost cooked to your liking.  
5. About 2-3 minutes before finishing, use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to lather BBQ sauce over the surface of the patties.  
6. Fry for 30 seconds before flipping and lathering the other sides with sauce. Once basted, add cheese to the tops of your burgers, and melt slightly.  
7. Carefully remove patties and rest for 5 minutes as the cheese continues to melt.  
8. Spread the bases of your burger rolls with mayonnaise (or a condiment of your liking), top with a burger patty (lathered with more BBQ sauce, if you like), a slice of tomato and some lettuce. Secure the lids on top and serve.
