3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the minced beef and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned with no pink remaining.
4. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, remaining salt, black pepper and water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook for 6 to 8 minutes until thick, glossy and saucy, stirring often.
5. Split and toast the brioche buns until lightly golden. Spoon the hot filling into the buns and serve straight away.
