Gourmet Double Beef Patty Melt Sandwich

Sink your teeth into this gourmet double beef patty sandwich. Featuring two juicy, seasoned beef patties, melted cheddar, and a tangy homemade mustard sauce, all layered between perfectly toasted golden bread.

Ingredients

• 1 red onion
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 500 g fresh ground beef
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• to taste salt and black pepper
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp regular yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp coarse ground mustard
• 4 slices thick white bread
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 slices yellow cheddar cheese
• 2 large potatoes
• 1 large tomato
• to taste dill pickles

Instructions

1. 1Finely dice the onion

   

   Place the red onion on a wooden cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully dice it into fine, uniform pieces. This provides a consistent texture and flavor distribution for your beef patty mixture.

   Tip: Keep your fingers tucked while dicing to ensure safety and precision.
2. 2Sauté the diced onion

   

   Heat a small amount of oil in a yellow pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and stir-fry until they become soft, translucent, and fragrant. This step removes the raw sharpness of the onion and adds sweetness to the final burger.

   Tip: Cook until the onions are golden and soft, but avoid burning them.
3. 3Process the beef

   

   Place the fresh raw ground beef into a manual food chopper. This helps to further refine the texture of the meat, ensuring a more uniform consistency for your burger patties.

   Tip: Do not over-process the meat, as you want to maintain some structure for a juicy patty.
4. 4Combine ingredients

   

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed raw ground beef with the sautéed onions, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. These additions act as binders and seasonings to enhance the flavor and hold the patty together.

   Tip: Season generously to ensure the meat is well-flavored throughout.
5. 5Shape the patty

   

   Using your hands, thoroughly mix the beef and onion combination until well incorporated. Form the mixture into a firm, round patty of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.

   Tip: Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
6. 6Prepare the sauce

   

   In a small white bowl, whisk together ketchup, mayonnaise, regular mustard, and coarse mustard until completely blended. This tangy sauce will perfectly complement the savory beef patty.

   Tip: Taste the sauce and adjust the ratios to suit your preference.
7. 7Toast the bread

   

   Place slices of white bread into a yellow pan with melted butter. Toast until golden brown on both sides to achieve a crisp texture.

   Tip: Keep the heat medium to ensure the butter melts without burning the bread.
8. 8Cook the beef patties

   

   Place the beef patties into a hot, oiled pan. Sear the patties until they are cooked through and develop a flavorful crust on both sides.

   Tip: Do not press down on the patties while cooking to keep the juices inside.
9. 9Melt the cheese

   

   Place slices of yellow cheese on top of the browned beef patties in the pan. Allow them to melt completely over the meat.

   Tip: Cover the pan with a lid for a minute to help the cheese melt faster.
10. 10Deep-fry the French fries

    

    Carefully lower the cut potatoes into a small pot filled with hot oil. Deep-fry them until the fries are golden brown and perfectly crispy on the outside.

    Tip: Drain the cooked fries thoroughly on paper towels to remove excess oil and preserve their crunch.
