Cheeseburger stir fry is the kind of dish you want to make when you know you’re not going to eat the bun and you still want it to be rewarding. This is where the right technique comes to cook ground beef and you need the best burger sauce.
First things first. Gather your ingredients for the sauce, because you want it to chill in the fridge for an hour if you can.
Burger Sauce
- Mayonnaise (hopefully, made with avocado oil)
- Dijon Mustard
- Dill Pickle
- White Onion
- Paprika
- Worchestershire Sauce (or vinegar)
- Black Pepper
This is actually a riff on my big mac sauce but adding worchestershire and using dijon mustard. I really like this version a LOT. I did not include salt because pickles and worchestershire sauce is salty enough.
Technique for Cheeseburger Stir Fry
You want to get the meat crispy enough to be likened to a smash burger. Grey ground beef is not appetizing nor tasty.
Season your meat and use best baking soda technique. The baking soda technique helps to keep meat moist, and browns meat better.
How to Brown Ground Beef
Per each pound: 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. 1 tablespoon of water. Mix and pour over meat and wait 15 minutes prior to cooking. This really works. Each bite will have that smash burger crispiness on the edges.
Break the meat up as it is browning. I love this tool, or you can use a potato masher.
Once you are satisfied your meat is cooked, season as desired with salt the pepper, which happens to be the best two seasonings the world has ever seen.
Sprinkle with cheese of choice. Stick in oven just until cheese is melted. Or cover with lid and wait for cheese to melt.
Serve with chopped tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, and my best burger sauce. Of course, use lettuce of choice, but the crunch of iceberg works. Also, if you want to you could serve stir fry cheeseburger as lettuce wraps.
Variations
