In a medium bowl, mix ground beef, onion, steak spice and parsley together, form four patties and let rest. When you are ready to cook, roll the burger in a little bit of flour, covering all sides, and grill for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Resist the urge to press down on the burger. Serve on your favourite bun; on bottom bun place ketchup, mustard, relish, spinach and tomato before adding the burger. Top with buttery onions (recipe below), sliced sweet pickle and bacon, finishing with smoked cheddar cheese and fried egg.

I like to serve this burger with a great local craft beer and fresh cut fries. Cheers!
