Burger Ingredients
  • 450 g 80/20 Ground Beef Divided into two thick patties
  • 2 slices Sharp Orange Cheddar Cheese Thick cut
  • 30 g Crispy Bacon Bits Crumbled
  • 30 ml Creamy Ranch Dressing Chilled
  • 15 g Fresh Scallions Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper Coarse grind
  • 4 large Green Lettuce Leaves Butter or Iceberg
  • 15 ml Avocado Oil For searing

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet Essential for high-heat searing and grill marks.
  • 1 Metal Spatula For flipping and pressing the patties.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Divide the ground beef into two equal portions. Shape into thick, 1-inch rounds without overworking the meat. Season both sides with salt and cracked black pepper.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with avocado oil until just starting to smoke.
Cooking
  1. Place patties in the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until a deep charred crust forms and grill marks are visible.
  2. After flipping, top each patty with cheddar and bacon bits. Cover with a lid for 60 seconds to melt the cheese thoroughly.
Assembly
  1. Place lettuce leaves on a plate. Stack the two patties, dollop with ranch dressing, and garnish with scallions and extra pepper.

Notes

Use cold ranch against the hot beef for a professional sensory experience.
Do not omit the cracked pepper; it provides the 'crack' visual and floral heat.
