  • Flip the meat and season with salt and pepper on the seared side that is now facing up.
  • When assembling the burger, do it as follows:

  • First add Big Mac dressing, then chopped onions and lettuce on both bottom buns.
  • Place a slice of cheese on the bottom bun, followed by a burger patty on top.
  • Place a patty on the middle bun and lift the entire middle section onto the bottom bun.
  • Finally, place the top bun on and enjoy.
