🔸 For Assembling:

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patty Mixture

1. In a mixing bowl, add:

   • 500g ground beef

   • 2 tbsp finely chopped/grated onion

   • 1 tsp garlic

   • Salt and pepper to taste

   • Optional: 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce and ½ tsp paprika

2. Mix gently using hands or a spoon. Do not overmix — this keeps the patty tender.

3. Divide into 4 equal portions. Shape into flat round patties (about ¾ inch thick, slightly wider than your buns, as they shrink while cooking).

4. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes so they hold shape better while frying.

🔹 Step 2: Cook the Beef Patties

1. Heat a cast iron pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add a small amount of oil or butter.

3. Place patties on the hot pan. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes.

4. Flip once a brown crust forms. Place a slice of cheese on top immediately.

5. Cover with a lid for 1–2 mins to melt the cheese and cook the inside.

6. Remove patties and let them rest for 2 minutes.

✅ Internal temperature for medium doneness is ~160°F / 71°C.

🔹 Step 3: Toast the Burger Buns

1. Slice burger buns in half.

2. Heat a flat pan or tawa. Add some butter.

3. Toast the inner sides of the buns till golden and crispy.

🔹 Step 4: Prepare Sauce (Optional)

You can mix the following for a burger-style special sauce:

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 tbsp ketchup

• ½ tbsp mustard or chili sauce

• ½ tsp vinegar or lemon juice

• Optional: chopped pickles or garlic

Mix and keep aside.

🔹 Step 5: Assemble the Burger

1. Spread sauce on the bottom half of the bun.

2. Layer with:

   • Lettuce

   • Sliced tomato

   • Beef patty with melted cheese

   • Onion rings or caramelized onion

   • Pickles (if using)

3. Spread sauce on the top bun and close the burger.

4. Press lightly, and optionally secure with a toothpick or skewer.

🍽 Serving Suggestions
