Method
Preparing the Burger Patty
Form the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, each weighing approximately 8 ounces. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while grilling.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are grilling, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, place a generous leaf of lettuce. Add a grilled beef patty on top of the lettuce, followed by slices of tomato, onion, and pickles. Finally, place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger.
Serve
Serve the Union League Cafe Burger immediately with your favorite side, such as fries or a salad.
