Instructions

  1. Prepare the Big Mac sauce

    10 min

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, onion salt, garlic powder, paprika, mustard, and a pinch of pepper. Season with salt and chill the sauce until you're ready to assemble the burgers.

  2. Form the beef patties

    10 min

    Take 400g of minced beef and divide it into four equal portions, about 1/3 cup each. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten on baking paper into roughly 15cm circles.

  3. Cook the beef patties

    8 min

    Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the patties in two batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are lightly charred and fully cooked. Keep the cooked patties warm while you finish the rest.

  4. Toast the burger buns

    5 min

    Carefully slice each sesame seed burger bun into three layers horizontally. Lightly toast them until golden brown to enhance their texture and flavor.

  5. Assemble the burgers

    10 min

    Start with the bottom bun and spread a layer of Big Mac sauce on it. Add some chopped onion, shredded iceberg lettuce, a slice of cheese, a beef patty, and some dill pickles. Add the middle bun and repeat the layering process before topping with the final bun.
