Instructions

1 ✓

Form meat loosely into four patties. Do not salt yet.

Tip: Salting early changes protein structure (makes it rubbery). Salt surface only before searing.
2 ✓

Fry pancetta until crisp; set aside. In the same pan (or fat), cook burgers 3-4 mins per side (medium).

Tip: Rest meat after cooking to redistribute juices.
3 ✓

Sear foie gras slices in a hot pan, 30-60 seconds per side.

Tip: Foie gras is mostly fat; overcooking will make it melt away.
4 ✓

Toast buns. Spread bottom with truffle mayo, add patty, cheese, hot foie gras, and pancetta.

Tip: Place onion jam under or over fatty liver; acidity cuts the richness.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the meat shrink?
High water content or overcooking. Proteins contract strongly above 160°F (70°C).
What if I don't have fresh truffle?
Use high-quality truffle mayo or oil.
