Faux Big Mac Recipe (with Plant-Based Meat!)
A plant-based copycat recipe of the famous Big Mac!
Equipment
- cast iron grill
- beef spatula
Ingredients
- 4 plant based burger patties Beyond Meat Beef was used in this recipe
- 1 cup onion finely diced
- 6 sesame seed buns toasted
- 3 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing as desired on each burger
- 6 dill pickle slices as desired on each burger
- 4 slices American cheese as desired on each burger
- 1 cup shredded lettuce as desired on each burger
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill over medium high heat until smoking. Season the patties with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the patties to the grill and sear for 2-3 minutes per side. I recommend flattening the patties to 1/4-1/2 inch thick and rolling the patties on a flat grill to evenly brown the edges. The inside of the patty will be pink.
- While the patties cook, toast the buns in the oven at 350F for about 5-10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Prepare the sandwiches by removing the bottoms of two of the buns. These will be the middle bun layer for each sandwich. Assemble the sandwiches by arranging the lettuce, Thousand Island dressing, pickles, onions and cheese on the patties and buns, as desired. Serve warm with fresh cut french fries. Enjoy!
