Without wasting more time, let’s get to the part of making that burger you’re all anxious about.

INGREDIENTS:

- The Buns:

  We suggest that you use potato buns but you can use any other buns of your preference, because in the end it’s all about that blend of beef.

- Vegetables:

   Finely sliced Onions.

   Diced or whole slices of lettuce.

   We’ll just be using the lettuce and caramelized onions but you may add any other veggies of your liking.

- For The Patty:

   Approximately Half Kg (0.5 Kg) Minced Beef with an 80/20 blend of meat and fat.

  

   Crushed Salt (To your own liking).

   Black Pepper (To your own liking).

  Cheddar Cheese Slices (You can use any other good quality cheese of your own preference).

- For The Sauce:

   A quarter (one-fourth) cup of Mayonnaise.

   A quarter (one-fourth) cup of Ketchup.

   A quarter (one-fourth) cup of Mustard Sauce.

   One Teaspoon lemon zest.

   Half Tablespoon of Vinegar.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

- Preparing the Patties:

Place your blend of beef into a bowl and gently add and mix the ingredients thoroughly. Make sure you gently massage the meat and don’t overwork it. Once the blend is mixed, cover the bowl with a foil or some similar object and put it in the fridge for at least an hour for the spices to settle into the meat.

Once the meat has had its due time in the fridge, take the bowl out from the fridge and form round average sized balls (Approximately 4 ounce of meat blend for each patty).

Place an Iron Non Stick Pan over high flame/heat. Pour 2 teaspoons of oil into the pan and once the pan becomes piping hot, place the balls of meat for a few seconds and smash the patties until they become thin slices of meat with a flat head spatula or meat hammer. Cook both sides of the patty for approximately 4 minutes or until the sides Crisp up. When both sides have crisped up and turned brown, put the slices of cheese over each patty and cover the pan for about one minute so that the cheese can melt.

Once the cheese has melted, the patty is ready to be placed into the bun.

- Onion Caramelization:

Put an iron on stick pan over high place and pour in small pieces of butter. Once the butter melts and starts to warn up, put the finely sliced onion into the pan and add a pinch of brown sugar. Once the onions have turned brown, take the onions out of the pan.

- Preparing the Sauce:

Simply pour all the ingredients into a bowl to combine them. Mix them thoroughly until they blend into a smooth paste like texture. Once properly combined, you can store the bowl in your fridge until you have to use it.

- Toasting the Buns:

Lightly brush the buns with some butter and toast them on a grill or iron pan until they turn golden brown and crisp up.

ASSEMBLING THE BURGER:

- Place the toasted buns onto a plate.

- Put the sauce prepared earlier on each of the buns.

- Add 2 patties over the piece of bun.

- Place those caramelized onions and the lettuce over the patties and finally put the other piece of over the assembled burger and Enjoy those aromatic flavors as they melt into your mouths !!!!
