Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the ground beef dry and shape into a single patty about 3/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Sweat
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, add the onion, and stir occasionally for 12 minutes until deep golden brown.
3
Sear
Over medium-high heat, push the onions aside, add the olive oil, and sear the patty 3 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and the centre reads 130–135°F.
4
Melt
Lay the Gruyere cheese over the patty, cover the skillet, and hold over low heat 1 minute until fully melted.
5
Rest
Transfer the patty to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
6
Build
Lay the butter lettuce leaves flat, spread Dijon mustard and mayonnaise across them, then stack the patty, caramelised onions, and gherkin slices on top.
7
Plate
Fold the lettuce leaves around the filling like a wrap and place seam-side down on the plate.
