About this dish
Two thin patties stacked with melting American cheese give each bite more dark crust than one thick burger would.

The beef, 20 percent fat, is shaped into loose cold balls and smashed flat on a very hot cast-iron skillet, once and only at the start. Pressing again after the meat starts cooking squeezes out juice and leaves the crust patchy. A thin-edged metal spatula wider than the patty scrapes under that crust at the flip, so it lifts with the meat instead of staying stuck to the pan. A tangy mix of mayo, ketchup, and yellow mustard plus pickles cuts the richness, and butter-toasted brioche buns hold it all together.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Mix 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon ketchup, and 1 teaspoon yellow mustard.
Split the buns and pat the pickle slices dry.
- 2
Divide 320g ground beef into four loose 80g balls without kneading or compacting the meat.
Keep them chilled until the pan is ready.
- 3
Preheat a cast-iron pan over high heat for 3 minutes.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a separate pan and toast the cut sides of the buns for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- 4
Set two beef balls well apart in the hot pan.
Cover each with a square of parchment and press firmly with a sturdy spatula for 10 seconds, spreading it into a thin patty about 12cm wide.
- 5
Season the tops with half the salt and pepper, then cook for 90 seconds without pressing again.
When the ragged edges are dark and crisp and juices bead on top, scrape firmly under each patty and flip.
- 6
Place one slice of American cheese on each flipped patty and cook for 45-60 seconds, until the cheese melts at the edges.
Add the remaining beef balls to the pan, smash them, season the tops with the reserved salt and pepper, then flip and melt the cheese in the same way.
- 7
Spread sauce on both toasted bun halves.
Place three pickle slices on each bottom bun, stack two cheese-covered patties, close with the top bun, and serve immediately.
