All-American burgers with special sauce recipe

Burgers:

Ingredients:

2 Pounds 80 percent lean ground beef

1 1/2 tablespoons Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Canola or vegetable oil for the pan

8 Slices American cheese

Four 4-Inch potato buns

4 tablespoons special sauce (recipe below)

For Serving: Tomato slices, lettuce, pickle spears

Method:

1. Place the ground beef in a large bowl and gently use your fingers to fluff the meat to loosen it. Use a 5-inch metal ring or your hands to make four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Mix the salt and pepper together in a small bowl and use half of it to generously season the tops of the burger patties.

2. Heat a cast-iron flat-top griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Dip a folded paper towel in oil and use it to grease the pan. With a spatula, carefully transfer the patties to the pan, seasoned-side down. Sprinkle the patties with the remaining salt and pepper mixture. Cook, without pressing down or moving the burgers, until the bottoms are browned, about 5 minutes. Flip the burgers over and continue to cook for 4 1/2 to 5 minutes longer for medium-rare or 7 minutes for medium. If necessary, spoon out the excess fat from the pan. Place 2 slices of the cheese on each patty, add 1 teaspoon water to the pan, and cover the pan immediately. Cook for 10 seconds (or a few seconds longer, if your pan is large), until the cheese has melted, then transfer the burgers to a plate.

3. Pour off most of the fat from the pan and use a paper towel to wipe out the browned bits. Open the buns and place the bottom halves cut-side down in the hot pan until browned and toasted, about 1-2 minutes. Turn the buns over to toast the other side, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Repeat with the bun tops.

4. Transfer each patty to a bottom bun half. Smear each bun top with 1 tablespoon of the Special Sauce. Add a tomato slice to the top of the burger and cover with lettuce, then place the top bun half on the burger and serve with a pickle.

Special sauce recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons mashed canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (about 1/2 chile)

1 tablespoon adobo sauce

1/4 teaspoon Gochujang (Korean chile paste)

1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped half-sour pickle

3/4 teaspoon pickle brine (from the jar)

Method: Place the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle, chile paste, pickle, and pickle brine in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors come together. The sauce keeps in the refrigerator for up to six days.
