Preparation
Prepare & cook the patties
In a medium bowl, combine the beef and S&P. Form into 2 patties (double for 4 portions). In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the patties* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Make the aioli
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallion crosswise. Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, garlic, ½ the scallion and S&P.
Make the salad
Roughly chop the lettuce. Core and cut the apple into matchsticks (or core and thinly slice). Thinly slice the radishes. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, remaining scallion, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the lettuce, apple and radishes.
Toast the buns
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the buns, cut-sides down, and toast, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through and beginning to brown.
Plate your dish
Divide the bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with the aioli, a patty, a spoonful of the salad and a bun top. Serve the remaining salad on the side. Bon appétit!
