Peanut Butter Double Beef Burger

A decadent homemade double beef burger featuring smashed patties, melted cheese, crisp lettuce, and a rich savory-sweet peanut butter sauce.

Ingredients

• 400 g minced beef
• 2 slices burger buns
• 2 slices cheese
• 1 leaf lettuce
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 2 tbsp water
• 0.5 tsp shacha sauce
• to taste salt
• to taste black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Portion the Minced Beef

   

   Take portions of minced beef, approximately 100 grams each, inside a metal mixing bowl.

   Tip: Use a kitchen scale for the first few portions to ensure the patties cook evenly.
2. 2Shape the Meatballs

   

   Toss the portioned meat back and forth between your gloved palms to compact the meat and form a tight, smooth meatball.

   Tip: Packing the meat tightly helps prevent the burger patties from falling apart during pan-frying.
3. 3Prepare Peanut Butter Sauce Base

   

   Scoop peanut butter using a wooden spoon into a clean glass bowl to serve as the rich base for the sauce.

   Tip: Smooth peanut butter works best to achieve a uniform, creamy consistency.
4. 4Mix Sauce Ingredients

   

   Add light soy sauce, honey, white vinegar, water, and half a teaspoon of shacha sauce into the peanut butter bowl, then whisk everything together until smooth.

   Tip: Add the water gradually while whisking to prevent lumps from forming in the sauce.
5. 5Pan-Fry the Beef Ball

   

   Place the raw beef meatball into a heated flat-bottomed pan, then season the top surface with salt and black pepper.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is properly heated before adding the meat to achieve a good sear.
6. 6Press the Burger Patty Flat

   

   Use a metal masher tool to press the burger meat flat against the hot pan surface, pressing back and forth a few times to ensure even contact.

   Tip: Pressing firmly ensures the bottom gets an even, fragrant sear across the entire surface.
