Directions
Burger
Heat oil (2 quarts) in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be heated to around 375°F.
Weigh your portion of ground beef (5 oz) and shape into a patty. Season both sides of the patty with salt (1 tsp) and pepper (1 tsp).
Carefully place the patty into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry the patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it is golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully remove the patty from the oil and place it onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
Add a slice of cheese (1 slice) and optionally use a torch to melt the cheese.
Burger Sauce
In a small bowl combine all ingredients. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly.
Assembly
Toast buns (1).
Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun (1).
Add a patty with melted cheese (1 slice) on top.
Finish with the top half of the bun (1).
