Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 200 g Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp Mustard powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 8 slices Pickles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1 cm thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties into the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through to your desired doneness. Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest.
To prepare the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar cheese, mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a clean skillet or under a broiler for about 1 minute until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked beef patty. Top the patty with a generous drizzle of cheese sauce, two slices of tomato, and two pickle slices. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Classic Beef Burgers with Cheese Sauce!
