3. Slice the loaf in 3 parts. Brush olive oil on the top part and cover with sesame seeds. Toast in a hot oven until lightly golden.
4. For the beef patties simply shape 600g of beef and fry for 4mins on each side. Season well after turning. Do two of these.
5. Combine the burger as shown in the video, slice into portions and serve with french fries. Use long sticks to hold the shape.
6. Enjoy!
