Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

beef ribeye 180g
beef shoulder (chuck roll) 120g
brioche burger buns 2 pieces
American cheddar cheese 4 slices
onion 1/2 piece
button mushrooms 4 pieces
tomato 1 piece
lettuce 4 leaves
dill pickle 10 pieces
ghee (or regular butter) 1 tablespoon
Heinz ketchup 2 tablespoons
Hunt's ketchup 2 tablespoons
mustard 2 tablespoons
mayonnaise 4 tablespoons
sous-vide egg yolk 1 piece
Frank's RedHot sauce 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

Mix beef ribeye and shoulder in a 6:4 ratio, then grind twice using a meat grinder.
Do not knead the ground meat; shape it into two round patties, each weighing 93g.
Mix Heinz ketchup and Hunt's ketchup in a 1:1 ratio. For mayonnaise, mix in sous-vide egg yolk to make the custom sauces.
Sauté sliced onion and button mushrooms in ghee over a heated pan until just tender.
Grill or pan-fry the burger buns on low heat until the sides are lightly golden.
Place the unseasoned meat balls onto a very hot pan, press down firmly with a spatula after 30 seconds to flatten them thinly and widely, then sear both sides thoroughly.
Place two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the cooked patties and let them melt using residual heat.
Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun, then layer with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and the patty.
On the top bun, spread hot sauce and the custom mayonnaise, then add lettuce, pickles, and tomato to complete the burger.
Wrap the finished burger in aluminum foil and let it rest briefly so the cheese melts completely and the bun stays moist.

Grind beef twice and form into two 93g patties.
Prepare the sauce by mixing ketchup (1:1 ratio) and mayonnaise (with egg yolk).
Sauté mushrooms and onions in butter, and grill the burger buns.
Place the meat on a hot pan, press down hard to create a smashed patty, then cook through and add cheese.
Spread sauce on the buns and stack the patty, vegetables, and sautéed toppings in order.
Wrap the burger in foil and let it steam briefly to keep everything moist and cohesive.

Cooking tips 💡

Never season the patty with salt or pepper when making it—preserving the natural flavor of the beef is key to the original taste.
Wrapping the grilled burger in foil for a few minutes allows the cheese to melt smoothly, bringing out the signature moist and slightly soft texture of Five Guys burgers.
