Allright, I've never been at In-N-Out Burger's and I just know it from "The Big Lebowski". But the other day a food blog writer friend of mine cooked this Burger Animal Style and published the recipe on his
blog. In-N-Out defines the animal style as a "burger of your choice with hand-leafed lettuce, tomato, a mustard cooked beef patty". I liked that idea and tried it today.
After cooking in recent time always with my ceramic cookers, I used my chimney starter today again since a longer period, because I needed a bit more surface for grilling.
Instead of a griddle I used the backside of three GrillGrates. The patties were seasoned with salt and pepper and seared on that seasoned side first. Meanwhile the other side was seasoned with salt and pepper as well and spread with CYM. Then flipped them and seared the CYM side. Smells goooood!
After searing the GrillGrates were pulled over indirect heat. After I put cheddar on the patties, I spread sauce (8 TSP mayonnaise, 4 TSP ketchup, 2 TSP pickle relish, 1 TSP white wine vinegar, 1 TSP sugar), some lettuce, pickles, sliced tomatoes, on the buns. Then I put the patties and caramellized onions on the buns - and ready!
Mmmm, this is a tasty burger!
