The legendary three-tiered hamburger: two beef patties, American cheese, special sauce, lettuce, pickles, and onions in a three-tiered sesame seed bun.
Ingredients
- 181.6 g ground beef (5% fat)
- 2 slices sliced American cheese
- 80 g iceberg lettuce
- 8 slices sliced sweet-and-sour pickles
- 0.5 pieces onion
- 2 pieces sesame seed hamburger bun
- to taste salt
- to taste ground black pepper
- 1 tsp neutral oil (sunflower or canola)
- 120 ml special Big Mac sauce
Method
- Divide each hamburger bun into three equal horizontal parts (bottom, middle, top). Lightly toast them in the oven (200°C, 4 minutes) on a baking sheet, cut side up, until golden. Set aside.
- Divide the ground beef into 4 portions of 45.4 g each (90.8 g per Big Mac). Form thin patties slightly wider than the buns, flattening them well. Salt and pepper both sides.
- Preheat the oven broiler (high setting) to 220°C. Lightly oil the baking sheet. Place the patties on the sheet and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully flip them and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes (medium-well). At the end of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and let melt for 30 seconds in the turned-off oven (or 15 seconds in the microwave).
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion (about 2 tbsp per Big Mac). Tear the iceberg lettuce into small pieces. Prepare the pickle slices.
- Assembly for each Big Mac: On the bottom bun, spread 1 tbsp of special sauce, then add a handful of lettuce, a slice of cheese (on the lettuce), 1 patty, 4 pickle slices, and a pinch of onion. Place the middle bun layer. Repeat the same layer: sauce, lettuce, cheese, second patty, pickles, onion. Finish with the top bun (upper part with the sesame seeds).
- Serve immediately; the sauce should drip slightly. Optionally serve with homemade fries (not included in the recipe).
