Yield: Serves 2
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- Neutral oil
- 5 ounces fresh ground beef (medium), divided into two 2 ½ ounce balls
- 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced on a mandolin
- 2 slices American cheese
- 2 potato rolls
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Mustard, pickles, ketchup (if desired)
Directions
- Heat up a large cast iron pan lightly coated in oil over high heat until almost smoking.
- Place ground beef into the pan and season with salt and pepper; add a generous handful of onions to the top of the balls and press down firmly with a heavy spatula until flattened. Cook for 2 minutes or until nicely browned, and then flip to the other side.
- Season again with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cook for 1 minute, and then add cheese.
