Beef Steak Burger with Cheese and Dried Ham

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 180°C. Press the black pepper into the beef, coat with olive oil, and sear on a hot grill pan for about one minute per side. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for approximately fifteen minutes to medium-rare doneness or to your preferred level.

2. 2

   Brush the cut sides of the buns with olive oil, arrange them cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, place the cheddar on the bottom halves, and broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden.

3. 3

   Grill the dried ham until crispy; about one minute is sufficient.

4. 4

   Slice the beef thinly, spread the bottom cheese-covered bun halves with mayonnaise, layer with beef, ham, and pickled cucumbers, then top with the upper bun halves.
