Introduction
A recreation of the iconic, mouth-watering cheeseburger from the movie 'The Menu'. This recipe features both a quick, classic smash burger version and an elevated, from-scratch gourmet version with homemade potato brioche buns, custom-ground beef patties, and homemade molecular gastronomy American cheese.
Step 1
Thinly slice yellow onions pole-to-pole. Set aside.
Step 2
For the quick version: Fry frozen crinkle-cut fries in peanut oil at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, then season with kosher salt.
Step 3
Toast sesame potato buns on a cast-iron griddle with a bit of oil or butter until golden brown.
Step 4
Place two 4 oz beef balls on the hot griddle. Use a spatula to smear and press them down firmly into thin patties. Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Press a small handful of sliced onions into the raw side of the patties. Flip the patties over, pressing the onions into the griddle to cook. Immediately top with American cheese slices and let melt.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using sodium citrate is the key to creating processed-style melting cheese from high-quality real cheeses without letting the fat separate.
The vinegar in the boiling water helps the potatoes keep their shape even when boiled until extremely tender.
Chilling the meat cubes before grinding prevents the fat from melting during the grinding process, keeping the texture light and juicy.
