We've decoded the Big Mac. True story. I try to be healthy and eat food with ingredients I recognise (nothing that starts with an e-number, for example, fewer chemicals).

But, like many others, I am a closet lover of that Big Mac sauce that can only be found under the golden arches. So, I put my rigorous training as a home chef to good use, trying and testing and eating burger after burger in a bid to make this infamous burger at home.

It took a few attempts to get the balance right. Many others have tried and fallen before me, but my dedication was strong (and so was cheering on from my trusty wife). My pantry doesn’t include industrial flavour enhancers, so it was more difficult than it might seem to get the taste right. The final, successful, close to perfect recipe involved good-quality mince meat, and I did us all a favour and left out the sugars and salts from the original.

This is not health food, still, but it’s an indulgence I’ve taken for the team. In my relentless testing I've consumed litres of Big Mac sauce, both real and recreated. The upside? My version is pretty good. The downside? I need new jeans…

But seriously, this Keto version of the Big Mac is the bomb and you won’t be disappointed even though it is low carb!

I love making this paleo / lchf / ketogenic diet “big mac”! The big mac was always my favourite thing to order at McDonalds, and this sauce makes the whole meal extra keto! I love a delicious easy low carb high fat meal (LCHF) to make week nights that everyone loves!

Burger INGREDIENTS
* 400g beef mince
* 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
* 2 sesame seed low carb / Keto burger buns
* ½ white onion, finely chopped
* ¼ head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
* 2 slices tasty cheese
* 2 large dill pickles, thinly sliced


METHOD
* 1. As written above, for the Big Mac sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and chill until ready to use.
* 2. To make the patties, season the mince with salt and pepper and form into 4 balls using about 1/3 cup mince each. Place each onto a square of baking paper and flatten to form into four x 15cm circles. Heat bbq or heat oil in a large frypan over high heat. In 2 batches, cook beef patties for 1-2 minutes each side until lightly charred and cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm. Repeat with remaining two patties.
* 3. Carefully slice each burger bun into three across ways, then lightly toast.
* 4. To assemble the burgers, spread a little Big Mac sauce over the bottom base. Top with some chopped onion, shredded lettuce, slice of cheese, beef patty and some pickle slices. Top with the middle bun layer, and spread with more Big Mac sauce, onion, lettuce, pickles, beef patty and then finish with more sauce. Top with burger lid to serve.
* 5. After waiting half an hour for your food to settle, go for a jog.
