The classic two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce and cheese sandwich isn’t that hard to recreate at home (in fact, we’ve got two DIY recipes for you to choose from, the first of which uses Vegemite as a secret ingredient), but there’s no more authoritative source than the executive chef of McDonald’s.
In the video above, McDonald’s Canada Executive Chef Dan Coudreaut walks you through preparing a Big Mac at home, noting that the “secret” special sauce isn’t really a secret, since the ingredients are posted right there on the McDonald’s website.
Even if you’ve already tried the copycat techniques above or don’t even really care for Big Macs, the basic cooking video may still be worth two and a half minutes of your time. Coudreaut talks about the contrasting sweet and sour elements in the Big Mac (versus complementary flavours like tomatoes and basil) and a couple of other pointers.
