What it is

The world's most exported sandwich: a grilled beef patty — smashed thin for lacy edges or thick and juicy — in a soft bun with cheese, lettuce, tomato and sauce. Ingredients: ground beef (80/20), potato buns, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo. Recipe: 1) Divide beef loosely; season boldly with salt and pepper. 2) Smash or form patties; grill or griddle to a hard sear. 3) Top with cheese to melt. 4) Toast buns in the drippings. Serve: stacked, wrapped, with fries. Flavor: beefy crust, molten cheese, sweet-acid condiments. History: German Hamburg steak met American fairs and diners in the late 1800s; White Castle (1921) and McDonald's industrialised it, and the world's appetite did the rest.
