Ingredients:

Ground Beef Mixture

- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85/15)

- 1/2 sweet onion, finely chopped

- 1/4 cup hamburger pickles, chopped

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

- 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground pepper

- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

McDonald's Secret Sauce Recipe:

- 1 cup mayonnaise

- 1/4 cup Western dressing

- 2 tablespoons sweet relish

- 1 tablespoon ketchup

- 1 teaspoon white vinegar

- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

- 1/8 teaspoon salt

To Assemble (Double Decker):

- 8 hamburger buns (with seeds)

- 2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded

- 12 hamburger pickle chips

- 4 slices American cheese

- Additional sauce, optional

How to make it:

Brown your ground beef halfway, about 3-4 minutes, in your large skillet then add in the chopped onions, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

Cook the beef until fully browned, about 3-4 minutes, then add in the chopped pickles and stir.

Mix the McDonald's Copycat Big Mac Sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and stir well.

Add 1 cup of the secret sauce to the pan, reserve the rest for your buns.

 Cook for an additional minute then serve on hamburger bun

Notes: I used single buns, not the 3 part buns to save bread and because my store didn't have them, you can too, who needs extra bread right?

Teriyaki Steak

 Teriyaki Steak 

Skirt steak comes from the short plate. It comes in a long, thin strip or 'skirt'. Sometimes it's hard to find, so if you don't see it out with the other meats, ask your butcher.

#recipeideas #Ilovetocook #recipeideas #whatsfordinner #Ilovetocook #whatsforlunch #cooking #goodfoods #makeithomemade #comfortfoods 

INGREDIENTS 

2 pounds beef skirt steak 

4 cloves garlic, minced 

2 cups teriyaki sauce 

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

The bottles you buy have SO much sugar, just make it at home

Details

Cooking Time: 5

Recipes Makes: 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cold water

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder (or granulated garlic)

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions to make the sauce

Mix all 6 ingredients together in a saucepan and then put over medium heat on the stove.

Whisk it continually and don’t turn your back on it. The color will change and darken as the sauce begins

to thicken. Once it has thickened, take it off the heat.

It keeps very well in the fridge.

DIRECTIONS

Cut the skirt steak into individual strips for serving. Add the garlic to the teriyaki sauce. In a re-sealable plastic bag, combine the steak and the sauce. Seal tightly and refrigerate to marinate overnight. 

Preheat oven to broil OR preheat a barbecue grill. 

When oven OR grill is ready, remove meat from bag and discard remaining marinade. Place meat on a broiler pan for the oven OR directly on the grill for the barbecue. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
