Farmhouse Big Mac
Say hello to this farm-to-table take on a Big Mac! Everything in this irresistible culinary creation is delicious, easy to make, and a family favourite!
Ingredients
Mac Sauce
- 1 lg egg
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 20 g yellow mustard
- 3 g seasoning salt
- 250 ml canola-olive oil blend
- 5 g smoked paprika
- 50 ml water may be needed to adjust consistency
- ½ red onion diced
- 75 g relish
Burger
- 3 lbs ground beef
- ½ head iceburg lettuce chopped
- 6 burger buns
Instructions
- To make your mayonnaise whisk together your egg, vinegar, mustard, paprika and half of theseasoning salt until it is foamy.
- Slowly drip in the olive-canola oil mixture and whisk until it is all combined. (You should end up with a mayonnaise resembling the color of 1000 island dressing or Big Mac sauce)
- Fine dice your red onions and add them and the relish to the Mac sauce mayo base and your sauce is done!
- Take your ground beef out of the package, pat it dry with a paper towel and lightly shape it into 3/4lb patties.
- Season each patty on both sides with a good sprinkle of seasoning salt.
- Heat your (ideally) cast iron pan, flat top or frying pan to medium-high so the whole burger caramelizes and browns all around. Cook 4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
- Set the meat aside to rest, add butter to the pan and toast those buns until they’re slathered in butter and golden brown!
- Finely chop the lettuce right at the last-minute so it’s fresh and crisp.
- Assemble the burger with the toasted bun, meat, Mac sauce and finely chopped lettuce.
