Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons yellow mustard
12 dill pickle chips, plus 1 teaspoon brine
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds ground beef (80 percent lean)
Unsalted butter, softened, for brushing
4 bakery hamburger buns, split
4 slices American cheese
Ketchup, for serving
8 thin slices tomato
4 thin slices red onion
4 lettuce leaves

Steps:

Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard and pickle brine in a small bowl. Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a separate small bowl. Set aside.
Loosely form the beef into 4 balls; set aside. Working in batches, lightly brush the griddle with butter and toast the buns cut-side down until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Brush the griddle with more butter and add 1 ball of beef. Press firmly with 2 large crisscrossed metal spatulas for exactly 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatulas. Sprinkle the patties with some of the seasoning mixture and continue cooking, undisturbed, until well browned, 1 1/2to 2 minutes. (Start cooking another burger at this point.) Flip the patty, sprinkle with more of the seasoning mixture and top with 1 cheese slice. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottom of the burger is browned, about 1 more minute. Repeat with the remaining beef.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops and add some ketchup. Serve the patties on the buns with the pickles, tomato, red onion and lettuce.

BURGER PLATE

Burger Plate image

Inspired by German Hamburg steak and other patties of the world, including Danish frikadeller, Japanese hambagu and Korean hambak steak, this lunch-counter meal of ground beef is seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg and grated onion. The rest is mere assembly, arraying fresh, crunchy accoutrements to accompany the tender burgers: Tomatoes lend juiciness, dill pickles provide zing and sweet raw onions cut through the richness of the meat. Though you could sandwich all of these ingredients between two slices of toasted bread, eating them as a casual plate lunch lets you appreciate each part separately. If you'd like, replace the ground beef with a plant-based ground meat substitute.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 small Vidalia or yellow onion, peeled and trimmed
1 pound lean ground beef (90/10) or plant-based ground meat
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 teaspoons ketchup, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, or light olive oil
4 slices American cheese or sharp Cheddar (optional)
1 pound Campari, cocktail or other small tomatoes, halved or cut into wedges if large
4 dill pickle spears, halved
4 thick slices chewy white bread, such as sourdough, toasted and halved
Yellow or Dijon mustard, for serving

Steps:

Using a Microplane or other fine grater, finely grate about 1 tablespoon of the onion from the root end into a large bowl and set aside. Slice the remainder of the onion crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings, add to a separate small bowl and fill with cold tap water. Soak the onion rings in the refrigerator to mellow out.
To the bowl with the grated onion, add the ground beef, panko, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and nutmeg. Season with the salt and pepper. Form the beef into 4 patties (about 1-inch thick).
Heat a large skillet over medium. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan and wait until it's shimmery. Carefully add the patties to the pan and cook until browned and caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove the pan from the heat, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover the pan until the cheese is melted and the hamburgers are no longer pink on the insides, 1 to 2 minutes.
To serve, evenly divide the cheese-topped patties, the tomatoes, pickles and bread among 4 plates. Drain the onions and add to the plates, along with a squirt each of ketchup and mustard. Eat with a knife and fork or, if you'd like, sandwiched between the bread.
