Hamburgers

-

Ingredients

  • 3 brioche buns, split
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 12 ounces ground beef
  • A tomato, sliced into ¼ inch thick, pat-dried with paper towel
  • 3 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 3 small lettuce leaves, washed and pat dried with paper towel
  • ¼ cup worth of onion, sliced thin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 3 cucumber pickles, optional


Directions

Divide the beef into 3 equal portions. Grab one portion and press and knead it between your palms to make a ball.Place it on a cutting board lined with parchment paper. I use the butcher paper that wrapped the ground beef.Press it down with your palm and smooth out the edges to make a 4½ inch diameter disc that is slightly wider than the buns. Gently press the center of the patty so it’s a little thinner than the edges so that after the hamburger expands as it’s cooked, the patty will be even.Repeat with the other 2 portions and make 3 patties. Set aside.
Heat a heavy grill pan for about 2 to 3 minutes until it’s very hot. If you use a regular pan, it will take only 30 seconds to 1 minute. Rub about 1 tablespoon of butter on the grill, then put the buns on it and cook them for about 30 seconds until slightly crunchy and light brown. Turn them over and cook another 30 seconds until both sides are a little crunchy.
Put the buns on the cutting board, tops and bottoms side by side.

Cook the hamburgers

Add 2 tablespoons butter to the grill and spread it evenly. Place the patties on the grill cook for 2 to 3 minutes until light brown on the bottom. Turn them over with a spatula and cook 1 minute.
Add the cheese on top of each patty. Cover and cook another minute until the cheese is nicely melted and covers the patties. Remove from the heat.

Arrange your hamburger

Spread about 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun and about 1 teaspoon yellow mustard on the top half of each bun.
Sprinkle some ground black pepper on the top bun.
Put lettuce and onion on the bottom bun over the mayonnaise and put a tomato slice on the top bun over the  mustard.
Add the cooked patty on top of the lettuce on the bottom bun.
Place the hamburger on a large plate. Serve with cucumber pickle.
