Serves 3

Ingredients

  • 1 six-inch-long piece of marrow bone (to yield about 3 Tbsp roasted marrow)
  • 1 lb ground beef 
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • ¼ cup chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup diced dill pickle
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 burger buns, toasted
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 leaves of iceberg lettuce, torn into large pieces

  • Make sure you don’t render all the fat from the bone marrow. You just want to roast it until it’s nice and brown.
  • Add the fat that has rendered from the bone marrow to the ground beef, but wait until it’s room temperature to do so. 
  • Use a cast iron pan for this recipe. The crust that forms on the burger with cast iron is truly amazing.
