Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground sirloin (80% meat, 20% fat)
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 6 to 7 slices American cheese
- 1 small boule (bread loaf), sliced in half horizontally
- 3 leaves green-leaf lettuce
- 1 Roma tomato, sliced
- 8 dill pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- For the burger: Find a bowl or pan that is just bigger than your bread and place on a piece of parchment paper. Trace around the bowl with a pen and flip the paper over. Use the paper as a guide to shape the sirloin into a patty. Sprinkle both sides of the patty with 1 teaspoon salt.
- Place a cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and heat until shimmering.
- Add the patty to the pan and press down firmly with a spatula. Cook until the edges are crispy and deeply golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Fan the cheese over the burger and place a metal bowl or baking sheet inverted over the patty. Cook until the cheese melts and gets crispy on the edges touching the pan, about 2 minutes more.
- For the special sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Spread the special sauce on the cut sides of the boule. Place the burger on the bottom half of the boule. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and a sprinkle of salt. Slice into quarters or sixths and serve.
