📖 Descripción

The quintessential American cheeseburger: a perfectly seared 150 g beef patty made with 80/20 ground beef, crowned with a melty slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Layered with crisp romaine lettuce, juicy ripe tomato slices, tangy pickles, and sharp red onion rings, all brought together with a creamy house-made special sauce of mayo, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Served on a buttery toasted brioche bun. A true icon of American comfort food.

👨‍🍳 Preparación

  1. 1

    Place the ground beef in a bowl, gently form a 2 cm thick patty without overworking the meat, season generously on both sides with salt and pepper, and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot, then add the vegetable oil to lightly coat the surface.

  3. 3

    Place the patty on the hot skillet and sear for 3 minutes without pressing or moving it, allowing a deep brown crust to form.

  4. 4

    Flip the patty only once, immediately place the cheddar slice on top, reduce heat to medium, and cook for another 3 minutes for medium doneness so the cheese melts evenly.

  5. 5

    Spread the butter on the cut sides of the brioche bun and toast them in a separate pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 1 minute.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard to create the classic special burger sauce.

  7. 7

    Assemble the burger: spread the special sauce on the bottom bun, layer with lettuce, tomato slices, the cheese-covered patty, pickles, and red onion, then cap with the top bun.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately on a wooden board with crispy fries, potato chips, or a simple green salad on the side.
