Method
- Divide the mince into 4 portions of 150 g and shape 1 cm-thick patties slightly wider than the buns, pressing a shallow dip in the centre with your thumb (so they do not dome as they cook).
- Wash and dry the lettuce and slice the tomato.
- Split the buns, spread the cut sides with the butter and toast them in a large frying pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Set aside.
- Heat the pan (or griddle) over high heat with the oil. Season the patties with the salt and pepper only now and cook for 3 minutes without moving them, until crusted. Flip, lay the cheese on top, lower to medium, cover with a lid and cook 2 to 3 more minutes until the cheese melts.
- Spread both halves of the buns with mayonnaise, put lettuce and tomato on the base, the cheese-topped patty on top, close and serve at once.
Shopping tip
Beef mince with about 15–20% fat makes juicy patties; the sliced muçarela of Brazilian snack bars is swapped for flamengo cheese.
