Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 3 min.
Remove 4 eggs and 4 minceds steak burgers from the fridge at least 1 hour before using.
Salt and pepper steak burgers both sides.
Note: You can make a small depression in the top of each by pressing, which will help keep the egg in place for serving.

Stage 2 - 30 min.

Stage 3 - 8 min.
In the same pan, pour 2 tablespoons oil, and when hot add the steak burgers.
Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, then transfer onto a hot plate and cover with aluminium foil to keep them hot and moist.

Stage 5 - 3 min.
Stage 6 - 1 min.
When the whites have completely set, cut into two.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
Put the steak burgers on hot plates with egg white on top...
Stage 8 - 2 min.

Remarks
As you will have read, the egg yolk is not cooked, but just warms through in contact with the white and the meat. This way you can be sure of nicely set white, liquid yolk, and tender meat. Just right...
To improve the appearance, you can try pouring in the yolks separately (but you'll need a very large pan), or cooking them one after the other, to give proper circles.
