Form the beef into thin 4-ounce patties. Season the patties with salt and pepper. Sear or grill until golden brown and then flip over.

To build the burgers, spread special sauce on both sides of the bun. Top the bottom bun with lettuce. Place the two patties with cheese on top of the lettuce then top with a slice of tomato. Nestle the thinly sliced onions into the special sauce on the top bun and close the burger. Enjoy!
