Instructions
Start by cooking the pulled beef. This takes 8-10 hours in a slow cooker and can be done up to 3 days ahead. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. If using the beef from the fridge, heat it in a pan first.
Mix the ingredients for the chilli mayo in a small bowl. The flavour and spiciness will develop the longer this sits.
Preheat the broiler / overhead grill to high and place a rack about 5-6 inches below it.
Have all the toppings ready to go so you can serve the burgers nice and hot. Better yet, have everyone ready at the table and let them top their own as soon as they come out of the oven.
Place the bases of 4 burger buns onto a baking tray and top with a generous amount of pulled beef. Top each one with a slice of cheese. Cook under the broiler / overhead grill for 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Top each one with red cabbage and pickles, then a good dollop of chilli mayo on top. Add the tops of the burgers and devour immediately.

Notes
Tablespoons: I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (equal to 4 teaspoons). Check yours before measuring.
Pulled beef: One batch of pulled beef will be more than you need but leftovers can be frozen in batches ready for the next burger night. It’s also great in tacos, quesadillas, on pizza… the list goes on.
Sriracha: This is a hot chilli sauce. You could substitute with sambal oelek, another hot sauce like Franks or even a chilli jam!
Lime juice: You can swap this for lemon juice or even apple cider vinegar. If using the latter, start with half then work up to the amount that tastes right to you.
Burger toppings: You can of course choose your own favourite burger toppings. Coleslaw is great and you can even go so far as to dress your coleslaw with the chilli mayo. Lettuce, spinach, rocket (arugula), tomato, onion. Crispy onion rings. Sliced pickled onions. Beetroot.
