CopyCat Big Mac

CopyCat Big Mac

Ingredients 

For the patty: Makes approx 12 patties which equals to 6 double decker burgers.

  • 1.2 kgs 100% lean beef mince 
  • Salt & pepper (to be added when cooking)

To assemble:

  • Seeded burger buns 
  • 1 finely chopped onion (reserve other half for sauce)
  • Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
  • Burger Cheese 
  • Sliced pickles

Big Mac Sauce 

Make this in advance, taste better & texture will improve!

  • 1 cup good quality whole egg mayonnaise 
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon mustard 
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice 
  • 1/2 small finely chopped onion (optional)
  • 3 dill pickles  
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt & Pepper

Method

  • In a mini blender or by hand chop your onion & gherkins finely, combine with the rest of the sauce ingredients. Set aside in the fridge. 
  • For the patties divide into 12 balls weighing approx 95g each, ideally you want your pattie’s between 95g-100g - it’s ok if they’re off by a few grams. Flatten using 2 lined plates making sure they’re a little bigger than your buns as they’ll shrink slightly.
  • To cook beef, on med/high heat add oil & a knob of butter in a pan, make sure to season both sides of the patty generously with salt & cracked pepper.
  • Press down when you first place the patties in the pan to help them not shrink too much. Once you flip add your cheese & cover until cheese melts. 

To assemble:

  • Toast your buns on the cut side. Dollop/spread Mac sauce, too with onions then lettuce. Follow by a meat/cheese patty. Repeat finishing with sauce & top bun.
