Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten with the palm of your hands, so they are about 2 cm thick. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the centre of the patty. This helps to keep the patties a consistent thickness when cooking
Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat (210°C-250°C).
Brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Grill the patties over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Once there is one minute left of the cook time, place a slice of cheese over each patty to melt. Toast the buns, for 1 minute per side.
