My Perfect Burger Recipe | How To Make the Ultimate Burger At Home

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still providing creaminess.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is leaner, while pork belly can be more affordable.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole wheat buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole wheat buns add fiber, while white bread is often cheaper.

avocado

💰Cheaper: mashed peas

Mashed peas can mimic creaminess at a lower cost.

Separate the meat from the fat in the short ribs.

Grind the meat and fat together until blended.

Season the ground meat with salt and black pepper and shape into 100 gram patties.

Refrigerate the patties after shaping them.

Prepare the burger sauce by mixing chopped spring onion, mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

Saute chopped onion on medium heat in a cast iron grill until sweated down.

Place the patties on the grill and smash them down to increase surface area for caramelization.

Flip the patties to get good color on both sides.

Add red Leicester cheese on top of the patties to melt.

Assemble the burger starting with burger sauce on the bottom bun, followed by sliced gherkin, onion, tomato, lettuce, and the cooked patty with melted cheese.

Top with more burger sauce and the top half of the brioche bun.
