Cheeseburgers

Divide ground beef into 4 and shape loosely into patties 1 cm wider than the buns. Press a shallow dip into the centre of each so they stay flat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper just before cooking.

Spread hamburger buns with butter and toast cut side down in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until golden. Set aside.

Turn the heat to medium-high. Cook shaped patties for 3 to 4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms, flip, top each with cheddar and cook 3 minutes more until cooked through (71 C inside). Cover for the last minute to melt the cheese.

Spread toasted buns with ketchup and yellow mustard. Stack lettuce, cheeseburgers, tomato, red onion and pickles, and serve.
