Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion Straws

    Slice onions thinly, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain. Dredge in flour, season with salt and pepper, and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties, making a slight indent in the center of each.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On a burger bun, layer the cooked patty with melted cheese, onion straws, lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
