Ingredients
- 680 g ground beef (80/20)
- 4 pc cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pc hamburger buns
- 4 pc iceberg lettuce
- 1 pc tomato
- 12 pc dill pickle slices
- ½ pc yellow onion
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
Steps
- Divide the beef into 4 equal balls without overworking, then press into 1.5 cm patties slightly wider than the buns to allow for shrinkage.
- Season both sides generously with salt and pepper just before cooking.
- Heat a heavy skillet or grill over high heat until smoking, then add a thin film of oil.
- Cook the patties for 3 minutes on the first side without moving, flip, and immediately top each with a slice of cheddar.
- Cook 2 more minutes for medium, covering the pan briefly to melt the cheese.
- Toast the cut sides of the buns in the same pan until golden.
- Build each burger with bun, lettuce, tomato slice, patty, onion, pickles, and the top bun, and serve immediately.
