Classical Cheeseburger with Smashed Patties, Onions, and Cured Tomatoes

Ingredients:
4 x 3 oz freshly ground beef chuck patties
2 favourite burger buns, preferably potato
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
10 mL sherry vinegar
50 mL mayonnaise
10 mL ketchup
10 mL dijon
2 slices of mature cheddar
1 beefsteak tomato, sliced 1/4’’ thick
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325F. Heat up your grill or a cast iron pan on high until very hot.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and put it in the oven for 10 minutes. Toss onions with salt and sherry vinegar and let it marinade. Put the burger buns in the oven. Season the patties with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Sear on each side around 2 minutes or until the desired doneness is achieved. When you flip the first side, also place the cheddar on top and let it melt.
For assembly, mix the mayo with ketchup and spread equally on buns, dress it with onions, two patties and a slice of tomato. Serve hot.
