The Assembly

👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

1. The Reverse Sear (0–20 Mins)

  1. 🔥 Preheat: Set your oven to 135°C (275°F).

  2. 🧂 Season: In a Small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle generously over both sides of the Patties.

  3. ⏲️ Slow Cook: Place patties on the Baking sheet and bake for 15 Minutes, or until a Meat thermometer reads 49°C (120°F).

2. The Bacon Jam (10–30 Mins)

  1. 🥓 Render: Place Beef bacon strips into a cold frying pan. Turn the heat to Medium-Low.

  2. 🧅 Soften: Once the fat starts to melt, add the Onion. Cook until the onion is translucent and the bacon is crispy.

  3. 🍁 Glaze: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Apple cider vinegar, and Maple syrup.

  4. ⏳ Reduce: Simmer until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy (like jam). 🛑 Turn the heat Off.

3. The Crust & Assembly (30–45 Mins)

  1. 🔥 High Heat: Get your Grill or heavy pan very hot on High heat.

  2. 🥩 Sear: Move the warm patties to the grill. Sear for 1 Minute per side to get a dark, caramelized crust.

  3. 🧀 Melt: Place a slice of Cheese on each patty immediately after flipping.

  4. 🍔 Build: Place a Pickle on the bottom bun, add the cheesy Patty, and top with a large spoonful of the Bacon Jam.

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🔥 High-Heat Flare-ups: The final sear happens fast and hot. Use Long tongs to keep your hands and arms away from the direct flame or heat source.

  • 🌡️ Internal Temp: Using a Meat thermometer is the only way to ensure the prime rib is cooked to your preferred doneness while remaining safe to eat.

  • 🥓 Grease Splatter: Beef bacon fat can "pop" aggressively when it reaches high temperatures. Wear an apron and keep your face back when stirring the jam base.
