How to Make Pressed Cuban Style Burgers
- Gently form 1 pound of ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick.
- Season both sides of each patty generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the burgers for 2-3 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of roasted garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and mustard on both sides of each Cuban bread roll.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese) on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a cooked burger patty, followed by 2 slices of thinly sliced cooked ham, another slice of cheese, and 2-3 dill pickle slices.
- Top with the other half of the bun. For a perfectly pressed burger, use a panini press or a heavy skillet on top of the burger in a large skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the Cuban burger experience!
