Preparing the Patties
Start by forming the beef into two equal patties, each weighing about 4 ounces. Use lean ground beef to achieve a juicy texture while keeping excess fat at bay. Gently press the patties to create a slight indentation in the center. This helps them cook evenly and prevents bulging. Season both sides liberally with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the beef.
Cooking the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties onto the cooking surface. Sear them for about four minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the patties carefully, then place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Continue cooking for an additional three to four minutes until the cheese melts and the patties reach your desired doneness. This method locks in moisture and provides a flavorful crust.
Preparing the Brioche Bun
While the patties are cooking, it’s time to prepare the brioche bun. Slice the bun in half and lightly toast the insides on a separate skillet or under a broiler. Toasting enhances the flavor and provides a barrier to prevent sogginess when you add condiments. A golden-brown crust adds a delightful crunch to the overall texture of the burger.
Assembling the Burger
Once the patties are cooked and the cheese is melted, it’s time to assemble your Double Tender™ Burger. Begin with the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun. Layer a fresh leaf of lettuce on the bottom for a crisp bite. Add the first cheese-topped patty, followed by a slice of fresh tomato and pickles for acidity and crunch. Place the second patty directly on top, allowing the melty cheese to act as glue.
Adding Condiments
Now, it’s time to elevate the flavors with condiments. Spread two tablespoons of your special sauce on the top half of the brioche bun. You can create this sauce with mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra kick. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your taste. A hint of garlic powder or hot sauce can add a unique twist to your creation.
Final Touches
For added flavor, place a slice of onion on top of the second patty. The onion’s sharpness complements the richness of the beef and cheese beautifully. You can opt for raw onion for a more pungent flavor or sauté it for a sweeter touch. Finally, add the top half of the brioche bun to complete the burger. Press down gently to secure the layers together.
Serving the Burger
To serve, slice the burger in half for a more manageable bite or leave it whole for a hearty experience. Pair your Double Tender™ Burger with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Enjoy this delicious creation with friends or family, making sure to savor each bite of juicy beef, melted cheese, and zesty sauce. Your taste buds will thank you for this indulgent treat!
