Preparation
- For the Big Mac sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl, season with salt, and chill until needed.
- For the patties, season the mince with salt and pepper and form into 4 balls using about ⅓ cup each. Place each on a square of baking paper and flatten into 15cm circles.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat and cook the patties in 2 batches for 1–2 minutes each side, until lightly charred and cooked through, then keep warm.
- Carefully slice each bun into three across, then lightly toast.
- To assemble, spread a little sauce over the bottom bun, then layer on chopped onion, shredded lettuce, a slice of cheese, a beef patty and some pickles. Add the middle bun layer, spread with more sauce, and repeat the onion, lettuce, pickles and patty, finishing with more sauce. Top with the bun lid and serve.
