I adore the Big Apple. I’ve combined traditional flavors with a real, freshly ground sirloin burger because I ADORE a nice bagel sandwich. Heaven!
Ingredients
1 tsp Wholegrain mustard
1 Sprig Dill
50 g Beef dripping
2 Bagels
1 Lemon
1 large Gherkin
1 pinch Cracked black pepper
2 leaves Baby Gem lettuce
1 egg yolk
350 g Rib-eye steak
100 g pastrami / salt beef
100 ml Almond oil
1 Beef tomato
1 Red onion
1 ball Mozzarella
1 pinch Flaked sea salt
Step 1
MAKE THE BURGERS
For 1-2 hours, virtually completely freeze the beef dripping and ribeye steaks in the freezer. The steaks and beef dripping should be diced before being added to a food processor. Once minced, but not pasty, blitz. Place in the refrigerator after shaping into thin patties.
Step 2
MAKE THE MAYO
When the mixture is slightly thicker than mayo consistency, whisk in the almond oil while slowly drizzling the egg yolk and mustard mixture together (you might not need all of the oil). Add some lemon juice, some salt, and pepper to taste. Next, slice up some dill and add that as well. Last but not least, mix it.
Step 3
PREP THE FILLINGS
Very thinly slice the tomato, mozzarella, reunion, and gherkin. To make the lettuce the same size as the bagels, trim it.
Step 4
COOK THE BURGERS
Grab a griddle or frying pan and heat it up to a high temperature. In the meantime, season the burgers with salt, pepper, and oil. For medium-well doneness, cook the burgers for 2 minutes on each side. Next, add the mozzarella and cover it with a frying pan for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese. After draining the extra fat, remove the hamburgers from the pan. Cut the bagels in half, then place one half on the griddle after the other. 2 minutes should be spent grilling each side until marked and crisp.
Step 5
STACK IT UP & SERVE!
Before spreading the mayo over the top and bottom half of the bagels, let them cool down a little. Create your stack by placing lettuce, onion, burger, tomato, pastrami, gherkins, and then the top bagel half on the bottom half of the bagel. Triple-cooked fries should be served with the dish. 2 servings.
