Double Beef Cheeseburgers with Lettuce and Tomato

Ingredients

• 400 g 90% lean ground beef
• 4 yellow cheddar slices, 20 g each
• 2 sesame burger buns, about 85 g each
• 40 g curly leaf lettuce, dried
• 100 g tomato, cut into 4 slices
• 40 g white onion, cut into thin rings
• 5 g neutral oil
• 3 g fine salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Let’s make it

1. Prepare the lettuce, tomato and onion and keep them on a clean plate. Divide the beef into four 100 g balls, then gently flatten into patties about 1 cm thick and slightly wider than the buns.
2. Heat a griddle or two frying pans over medium-high heat. Split and toast the buns cut-side down for 1–2 minutes, then move them to serving plates.
3. Brush the griddle with the oil. Season both sides of the patties with the salt and pepper and cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, working in batches if needed.
4. Check each patty reaches 160°F / 71°C at its center with a thermometer inserted from the side. Add a slice of cheddar to each cooked patty and cover for 30–60 seconds to melt.
5. Put one cheesy patty on each bottom bun, add a second patty, then layer on the lettuce, tomato and onion rings. Close with the sesame bun tops and serve.
