LT Backyard Burger
- 7 ounces ground prime beef (20 percent fat), at room temperature
- Softened butter
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Potato bun, sliced in half
- Iceberg lettuce leaf
- Slice beefsteak tomato
- Slice dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon LT Pickled Mayo, recipe follows
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon chopped cornichons
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno
- 1 tablespoon Cognac
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Heat a griddle medium hot.
- Using your hands, form the beef into a 1/4-inch-thick patty, trying not to press the patty too much or the meat becomes tough and the patty does not cook properly in the center.
- Brush some butter on both sides of the patty, season with salt and pepper and cook on the griddle for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare.
- Meanwhile, brush softened butter on both slices of the bun and place on the griddle until toasted.
- To assemble, place the hamburger on the bottom slice of the bun, and the lettuce, tomato and pickle on top of the hamburger.
- Spread the LT Pickled Mayo on the top bun and then put the sandwich together and serve.
