Slice the onions into very thin half moons.
Without kneading, divide the beef into 8 balls of 80 grams each.
Heat a cast iron pan or griddle above 230°C.
Place the meat balls in the pan, divide the onions over them and smash them thin with a spatula.
Sear the patties for 90 seconds, then season with salt and black pepper.
Flip the patties, add the cheese and melt for 60 seconds.
Toast the buns and build the burgers with sauce, lettuce, double patties and pickles.
💡 Tip: Pressing the onion onto the patty both steams it and creates a sweet crust on the griddle.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with pickles, classic burger sauce without mustard and crisp fries.
