Ingredients

• 320 g ground beef
• 2 burger buns
• 2 slices of cheese
• 1 small tomato
• ½ small white onion
• 4 pickle slices
• 2 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp lard
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Split the buns. Put the lard and buns cut-side down in a cold frying pan. Heat over medium heat until the cut sides are golden. Set aside.
2. Finely chop the white onion and slice the tomato. Gently shape the beef into one thick patty per serving, handling the meat as little as possible. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and let a crust form. When a patty lifts easily with a spatula, turn it. Cook the beef through.
4. Place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the pan briefly to melt it. Put the onion on the bottom buns and spoon the mustard over the onion. Add tomato, two pickle slices per burger and a cheese-topped patty. Add the top buns and serve.
