Big Mac

The Big Mac is a legendary fast-food icon, and this homemade version delivers all the nostalgic charm with a satisfyingly juicy bite. The secret lies in the tangy, slightly sweet Big Mac sauce—creamy with a hint of sharpness—while the double patties stay tender yet caramelized from the skillet. Toasted sesame buns cradle the layers of crisp lettuce, sharp pickles, and melted American cheese, creating a textural symphony in every bite. Worth the effort for anyone craving that perfect balance of indulgence and familiarity without ever leaving the kitchen.

    For the Big Mac sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and chill until ready to use.

    2. To make the patties, season the mince with salt and pepper and form into 4 balls using about 1/3 cup mince each. Place each onto a square of baking paper and flatten to form into four x 15cm circles. Heat oil in a large frypan over high heat. In 2 batches, cook beef patties for 1-2 minutes each side until lightly charred and cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm. Repeat with remaining two patties.

Top with the middle bun layer, and spread with more Big Mac sauce, onion, lettuce, pickles, beef patty and then finish with more sauce. Top with burger lid to serve.
