Part 4/7:
While the beef rests in the refrigerator, it’s time to prepare a special sauce that will elevate the burger experience. Starting with thinly sliced pickles, which provide the perfect balance to the meat, the sauce incorporates finely minced pickles for acidity, mayonnaise for creaminess, and a hint of honey for sweetness, reminiscent of popular fast-food sauces.
The rest of the ingredients include Dijon mustard for flavor depth, ketchup for color, and a blend of spices like smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and a squeeze of fresh lemon or pickle juice for acidity. This well-balanced sauce promises to be a delicious complement to the crispy Smash Burger.
