Ingredients

Burger:

  • 5 oz (142g) 75/25 ground beef
  • 1 tsp (3g) black pepper
  • 1 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 hamburger bun
  • 2 quarts (2L) vegetable oil

Burger Sauce:

  • ½ cup (145g) ketchup
  • ½ cup (145g) mustard
  • ¾  cup (217g) mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp (30g) Worcestershire
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Directions

Burger:

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be heated to around 375°F (190°C).
  2. Weigh your portion of ground beef and shape into a patty. Season both sides of the patty with salt and pepper.
  3. Carefully place the patty into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry the patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully remove the patty from the oil and place it onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
  5. Add a slice of cheese and optionally use a torch to melt the cheese.

Burger Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl combine all ingredients. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly.

Assembly:

  1. Toast buns. 
  2. Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
  3. Add a patty with melted cheese on top.
  4. Finish with the top half of the bun.
