How to make a similar version
1
Form two thin beef patties per sandwich and season both sides.
2
Sear on a very hot griddle or skillet until deeply browned; add cheese during the final minute.
3
Toast the bun pieces until golden.
4
Build from the bottom up, alternating sauce, vegetables, patties and cheese so every bite has a balanced layer.
5
Wrap loosely in parchment for 1 minute before serving to soften the bun slightly.
Closer-match tip
Thin, well-seared patties and very finely diced onion usually get closer to a fast-food texture than thick pub-style patties.
