3. For the beet relish, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Heat an oiled grill pan on medium-high heat or preheat the grill to medium. Cook patties for 5 mins, or until one side is nicely browned. Carefully turn over and cook for 5-8 mins, until the patties are just cooked through. Set aside on a warmed plate.
5. Place the buns, cut-side up, on a baking pan. Place cheese slices on bottom halves. Broil for 1 min, or until cheese starts to melt.
6. Top with lamb patties, red onion, lettuce, avocado, cucumber and beet relish.
