Burger Spice Blend

Origin & Story

The burger, originally created as Hamburg steak in Germany, became a true icon of food culture in the USA. The burger grew especially popular through its preparation over an open fire, which develops an unmistakable, smoky aroma. Inspired by this authentic grilling tradition, I developed my Burger Seasoning – perfect for your smoky burger with real BBQ flair.

Highlights

My Burger Seasoning stands out through a harmonious combination of savoury-smoky and spicy notes. Flor de Sal provides the subtle saltiness, while a pepper combination of Tellicherry, cubeb and Malabar pepper delivers the necessary depth and complexity. Tomato and chipotle chilli (approx. 10,000 SHU) give the burger a pleasantly smoky heat, complemented by smoked paprika and smoked salt for the typical BBQ aroma. Mustard seed, sumac and chives round off the profile with fresh spice, garlic adds a subtle depth. I developed this personal recipe exclusively and make it 100% at Manufaktur Funke – the exact recipe remains my secret.

Quality

I process all ingredients fresh and personally at my Manufaktur Funke in small batches – of course without additives or technical aids.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.

Tip from Tobias Funke

For the perfect smoky burger, I work my Burger Seasoning straight into the mince and let it rest cold for at least an hour. Alternatively, while grilling you can also brush the burger with a mix of BBQ sauce and my seasoning – this creates an intense, smoky-savoury aroma with an optimal crust.

Recommended use

• Classic beef burgers with BBQ aroma
