Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 Sesame seed hamburger bun
- 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Ketchup
- 0.5 tsp Yellow mustard
- 2 Pickle slices
- 0.25 cup Iceberg lettuce (shredded)
- 1 tbsp White onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Divide the ground beef into a 1/4-pound portion and gently shape it into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Do not overwork the meat to keep the patty tender.
Season both sides of the patty with salt and black pepper.
Add the vegetable oil to the skillet or grill pan, then place the patty in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side before flipping.
Cook the second side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for a fully cooked burger.
While the patty cooks, lightly toast the sesame seed bun halves in a dry skillet or toaster to achieve a golden-brown crust.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard to create the signature sauce.
Spread the sauce evenly on the inside of both the top and bottom bun halves.
Place the cooked beef patty on the bottom bun, followed by the pickle slices, shredded lettuce, and finely diced onions.
Top with the toasted bun half to complete the burger.
Serve immediately with fries or your favorite side dish and enjoy!
