About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 1 lb beef mince
- 4 slices yellow cheddar
- 2 tbsp garlic butter
- 8 slices dill pickles
- 1/2 cup sweet onion
- 1 large beefsteak tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce
Donkey Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves roasted garlic
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
Cheese Sauce
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup processed cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar
- 1/2 cup gouda
- 1/2 cup provolone
Instructions
- 1Preheat a large cast‑iron griddle or heavy skillet over high heat until it is very hot (about 450°F/446°F).
- 2While the griddle heats, shape the seasoned beef mince into 4 equal balls (about 4 oz each) and season the exterior with a pinch of salt.
- 3Place the beef balls on the hot griddle; let them sear for 30 seconds, then press each ball firmly with a sturdy spatula to smash them into thin patties.
- 4Cook the smashed patties for 1‑2 minutes, allowing the juices to rise to the surface, then flip and cook another 1‑2 minutes on the other side.
- 5Immediately spoon a generous ladle of the prepared cheese sauce over each patty, add a slice of yellow cheddar on top, cover the griddle with a lid, and let steam for 30 seconds until the cheese melts.
- 6While the patties finish, spread the garlic‑butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns and toast them on the griddle until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
- 7Spread a thick layer of Donkey Sauce on both the bottom and top halves of the toasted buns.
- 8Assemble each burger: bottom bun, a layer of Donkey Sauce, dill pickle slices, sweet onion rings, the cheese‑smothered patty, tomato slice, lettuce leaf, another drizzle of Donkey Sauce, and finally the top bun.
- 9Serve the burgers immediately while the patties are hot and the buns are crisp.
Helpful tips while cooking
AI-assisted notes grounded in this recipe's ingredients, timings, and method—not additional creator instructions.
Pre‑heat the griddle fully
Allow the cast‑iron griddle to reach very hot before forming and cooking the patties.
Season the beef exterior
Add a pinch of salt to the outside of each beef ball right before placing on the hot griddle.
Steam the cheese briefly
After adding the cheese sauce and cheddar slice, cover the patty for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
Toast buns on the same griddle
Spread garlic‑butter on cut sides of the buns and toast them on the hot griddle for about 1 minute per side.
