Gently roll each portion into a ball, then press into round patties slightly larger than your bun (about 12 cm / 4.7" wide and 1 cm / 0.4" thick for a 10 cm / 4" bun) to allow for shrinkage.2Step 2: Get all burger components ready. Do not salt the beef until just before cooking, as salt toughens the meat.3Step 3: Preheat the grill to high. Place the buns cut face up on a tray and toast for 3 to 5 minutes until light golden. If using a BBQ, place them cut face down on the grill. Set aside.4Step 4: Sprinkle one side of each patty with half the salt and pepper. Flip, then press a dent into the middle of each patty (this prevents doming and reduces shrinkage). Sprinkle the dented side with the remaining salt and pepper.5Step 5: Preheat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, smoking hot.6Step 6: Cook 2 to 4 patties (whatever fits in the pan) for 1 1/2 minutes. Press down lightly with a spatula – not too hard, or the juices will be squeezed out. Flip, then immediately top with a slice of cheese. Cook for another 1 1/2 minutes; the cheese will melt by itself. Transfer burgers to a tray to rest for 3 minutes.7Step 7: If your BBQ hot plate/grill is well seasoned (oiled), no need to oil before cooking. Otherwise, lightly brush with vegetable or canola oil (or use a scrunched-up paper towel). Preheat the BBQ on high until very hot and you see wisps of smoke.8Step 8: Cook the burgers as above: 1 1/2 minutes per side, topping with cheese as soon as you flip, then resting for 3 minutes. You can also toast the buns on the grill, cut face down, for 2–3 minutes.9Step 9: Slather the base of the bun with your sauce of choice. Assemble in this order: lettuce, tomato, burger (x2 for double), gherkins, onion, and sauce on the bun lid. Place the lid on top.10Step 10: Devour with French fries on the side.getsaucepan.com/r/5b8b9675-9daf-4936-aa2a-97142fe7418b · Original: https://www.recipetineats.com/cheeseburger-recipe/
