Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 2 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Mahon cheese and a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Caesar Aioli

    Mix together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 clove of minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce to create the Caesar aioli.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of Caesar aioli on each bun. Place the patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, add lettuce and sliced tomato, then top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve with Rustic Fritas

    Serve the burger with rustic fritas (fries) on the side.
