Burger Patties

Shake Shack Sauce

Method

Burger Patties Preparation

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with kosher salt and black pepper. Be careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties.

  2. 4

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and immediately place a slice of American cheese on each patty.

  3. 5

    Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    On the bottom half of each bun, add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and 2 pickle slices.

  3. 8

    Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by a tablespoon of ketchup and mayonnaise on the top half of the bun.

  4. 9

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.

Shake Shack Sauce Preparation

  1. 10

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 11

    Serve as a condiment for the burgers or alongside for dipping.
