Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Season the Niman Ranch beef patties with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Place the beef patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    During the last minute of cooking, place the burger buns cut side down on the grill or skillet to toast lightly.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread house mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato (cut into thick slices), a cooked beef patty, pickles, and finally, the top half of the bun.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form French fries.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 8

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
