“This was a revolutionary moment in the life of the bar at Icebergs: a move to a casual, high-quality meal in the bar as opposed to just snacks. Like most burgers, the experience is made all the better with a serving of fries and an ocean view.” – Monty Koludrovic

4 x 200g 100% beef medium-grind patties (ask your butcher to grind it for you)
8 slices burger cheese or cheddar
4 fresh sesame milk buns
1/3 cup (80g) softened butter
1/3 cup diced white onion
4 butter lettuce leaves
1 large gherkin, sliced
1 heirloom tomato, sliced

Sauce

160g mayonnaise
1 tbs pickle juice
1 tbs ketchup
1 tbs yellow mustard
Pinch of paprika
Pinch of onion powder
Pinch of garlic powder
Pinch of white pepper

Method

1.

To make the sauce, combine all ingredients and a pinch of salt, mix well and season to taste.
2.

To make the burgers, heat charcoal grill to very hot and season patties. Grill until cooked to your liking then top each with 2 slices of cheese and set aside to rest.
3.

Slice buns, spread with a little butter and grill, cut-side down, until golden. Dollop buns with burger sauce on both halves.
4.

Add patties, onions, lettuce, gherkin and tomato to bottom bun halves. Top with top bun halves, pressing down lightly.
