The BigBBQ Burger

Our signature recipe, once promised on Instagram and delivered here: the BigBBQ Burger. Two thin patties with double cheese, pickle, onion and our own burger sauce, stacked on a soft sesame bun — the classic, but over charcoal.

Ingredients (10 double burgers)

  • 1.4 kg ground beef (around 20% fat), loosely rolled into 20 balls
  • 20 slices of cheddar
  • 10 sesame buns, plus 10 extra middle slices
  • Burger sauce: mayonnaise, ketchup, finely chopped pickle, onion powder and a splash of vinegar
  • Chopped onion, pickle slices and shredded iceberg lettuce

Method

  1. Heat a cast-iron plate on the direct zone until it's just smoking.
  2. Smash each ball flat in one go into a thin patty with ragged edges and salt it straight away.
  3. Flip after a minute and a half, lay the cheese on top and give it one more minute.
  4. Build it: bun, sauce, lettuce, onion, patty, middle slice, then once more — pickle to crown it.

Tip from the guru

Press only once, right after the ball hits the plate — pressing after that costs you juices, and those ragged edges are exactly where the flavour lives.
