Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the cabbage

    Thinly slice the white cabbage. Grate the carrot. Mix them in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

  2. Dress the slaw

    Add the mayonnaise and cider vinegar to the cabbage and carrot. Mix well with a fork.

  3. Prep the toppings

    Wash and spin dry the iceberg lettuce. Slice the tomato into rounds. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Drain the pickles and slice them into rounds.

  4. Shape the patties

    Split the ground beef into two equal portions. Shape two flat, thick patties with your hands. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

    Tip · For juicy patties, don't pack the meat too tightly when you shape them. Press just enough to hold them together.

  5. Cook the patties

    Heat the skillet over medium-high heat with no fat. Add the patties and cook 4 min per side, until they reach 70 °C in the center.

  6. Toast the buns

    Split the burger buns. Toast them dry for 1 min in the same skillet, cut side down, until lightly golden.

  7. Build the burgers

    Lay a slice of cheddar on each patty while it's still hot. Let it melt for 30 seconds. Top the buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and ketchup.

    Tip · For really melty cheese, cover the skillet with a lid for the 30 seconds of melting.

  8. Finish and serve

    Set the cheesy patties on the bottom buns. Close the burgers and serve right away with the coleslaw on the side.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
