  1. For a slightly different version, use manchego cheese and a brioche bun.

  2. Make the burgers up to 48 hours in advance. Keep them covered in the fridge, then bring up to room temperature for 2 hours before cooking.

    You can also freeze the prepared burgers in a sealed container for up to 1 month. The sauce will keep for 1 week in a sealed container in the fridge.

  3. Adding bone marrow to stews and beef mince gives a rich, beefy taste. Bone marrow is mainly fat but, perhaps surprisingly, it’s mostly the unsaturated stuff.
