Ingredients:
For the quick pickles:
- 480ml champagne vinegar
- 60g granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard seeds
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 cloves garlic lightly crushed
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 English cucumber cut into 3mm slices
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
For the 18000 island dressing:
- 240ml mayonnaise
- 60ml ketchup
- 2 tbsp sliced pickled jalapenos
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp garlic granules Salt
For the burgers:
- 700g minced steak
- 225g minced beef
- 1 to 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 sesame seed buns
- 4 to 8 slices white American cheese
- Tomato slices for serving
- Iceberg lettuce for serving
For the quick pickles:
Add the vinegar 120ml water the sugar mustard seeds salt garlic and bay leaf to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Once the sugar has dissolved in the simmering liquid add the cucumbers and dill to a heat-proof container and pour over the pickling liquid. Leave to sit for at least 10 minutes. Chop 2 tablespoons for the dressing and reserve the rest for serving.
For the 18000 island dressing:
In a food processor add the mayonnaise ketchup jalapenos chopped quick pickles Dijon garlic and some salt. Puree taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
For the burgers:
Heat a cast-iron frying pan or large heavy griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Combine the minced steak and beef together and it form into 4 balls with your hands.
Add the oil to the heated pan. Place the burger balls on the pan and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Then using a spatula press the balls down flattening them down as you spread them out. You want a thin crusty burger and that's all about creating surface area so press away. Let the burger get a nice char on one side and then flip so they get nice and crusty brown 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Butter and toast or griddle the sesame seed buns. Once toasted add 1 to 2 slices cheese to each bottom bun. Place the burger on the bottom bun with the cheese. Top the burger with some tomato slices quick pickles and iceberg lettuce. Spread some of the 18000 island dressing on the top bun and top the burger. Appreciate the old school classic.
