Method

  1. Visit your butcher and request them to grind 1 3/4 lbs of chuck steak for you. This cut is ideal due to its perfect balance of fat and flavorful meat.

  2. Divide the ground meat into 4 equal portions.

  3. With damp hands, shape each portion into a ball, then flatten them into patties that are approximately 5 inches wide and slightly larger than your burger buns.

  4. Place the patties on an oiled plate and refrigerate.

  5. Thinly slice the red onion and combine it with vinegar and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl.

  6. Slice the gherkins and cut the buns in half.

  7. Finely chop the lettuce and mix it with other burger sauce ingredients in a separate bowl. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

  8. Heat two pans simultaneously - a large non-stick frying pan on high heat for the burgers and another pan on medium heat for the bacon.

  9. Brush the burger patties with oil and season them with salt and pepper.

  10. Place two patties in the first pan and press them down with a slotted spatula. Add half of the bacon to the second pan.

  11. After 1 minute, flip the burgers and brush each cooked side with 1/2 teaspoon of mustard and a dash of Tabasco sauce.

  12. After another minute, flip the burgers again, this time onto the mustard side. Brush another 1/2 teaspoon
