Signature sauce
The “trick” of Big Tasty is, of course, its signature sauce, which reveals the taste of the burger. It contains liquid smoke, which is why this sauce is called “Grill”.
Ingredients:
- seven tablespoons of mayonnaise;
- 20 ml vinegar (wine);
- beef broth cube (half);
- 0.5 tsp each liquid smoke, dried onions and garlic;
- There is black and hot pepper on the tip of the knife.
The preparation method is quite simple - mix all the ingredients.
Collecting all ingredients
The final stage is the assembly of our famous burger.
- Let's start with the buns. They need to be cut lengthwise and each half browned. If you have a grill, you can do it on it; if not, then in a regular oven.
- Now vegetables. For the Big Tasty, we use Iceberg lettuce – you just need to tear it up with your hands. We decorate the onions in half rings, and the tomatoes in elegant slices.
- Assemble the sandwich from top to bottom. We take the top of the bun, generously grease it with sauce, lay out the onion, then lettuce, tomatoes and a cheese square. Then comes the cutlet, another slice of cheese and the rest of the bun. Now we do a flip so that the bottom part is on top, and that’s it. You can enjoy a hearty sandwich!
Big Tasty recipe like McDuck
Many people go to famous fast food restaurants to try this particular burger. But homemade Big Tasty, like at McDonald's, can be made and assembled yourself in your own kitchen. For this you will need:
- Milk - a glass;
- Flour – 360 g;
- Granulated sugar and sunflower oil - a tablespoon each;
- One egg;
- Dry yeast – 3 g;
- Salt – 3/4 teaspoon;
- Sesame.
For meat cutlets:
- Minced beef – kilogram;
- Pepper and salt - to taste;
- Sunflower oil for frying.
For the special sauce:
- Mayonnaise – 7 tablespoons;
- Wine vinegar – a teaspoon;
- Half a beef bouillon cube;
- Half a teaspoon of dry onion, liquid smoke, dry garlic;
- Red and black pepper - on the tip of a spoon.
Now we’ll tell you how to make a big taste at home:
- Let's start with the buns. Their cooking scheme is simple. Dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Add all the remaining ingredients and knead the stiff dough. We place it in a container, which we put in a warm place and cover with a damp cloth;
- After approximately 40 minutes, the test mass should double in size. Then you need to knead it a little and divide it into 8 identical balls, each of which is then rolled out into a cake one centimeter thick and approximately 10 cm in diameter;
- Place the blanks on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and put them in a warm place for half an hour. They should rise, after which they need to be sprinkled with sesame seeds;
- Place the baking sheet in the oven. The duration of the baking process for big tasty buns is 20 minutes at 200 degrees;
- Cooking cutlets. We place the minced meat between layers of cling film and try to compact it tightly into a layer about 1 cm thick, rolling it out with a rolling pin;
- Cut out round cutlets with a diameter of approximately 10 cm (you can use a round mold for this). Salt and pepper the pieces and fry them on each side in a frying pan with vegetable oil;
- The “secret” sauce will help to fully reveal the taste of the burger. To prepare it, simply mix all the ingredients from the list;
- Now the final touch is assembling the sandwich. Cut the bun in half lengthwise and lightly brown each half in the oven or on a grill pan. Generously coat the top with Grill dressing, then add the filling. First comes a couple of onion rings, then iceberg lettuce leaves, torn by hand, followed by two tomato slices and a square slice of cheese. The composition is completed with a cutlet, another slice of cheese and the bottom of the bun;
- Big Tasty also has one more feature - before you start eating it, you need to flip it, because the bottom part is first on top. After this, you can enjoy an amazing hearty meal.
Big and tasty Big Tasty

The story of the Big Tasty is not just the story of a burger. This is an epic with ups and downs. This sandwich appeared on the Californian market in 1997. It was originally created to compete with Burger King's nearly identical hamburgers. At the national level, Big Tasty was implemented in 2000, and this was done specifically on a specific day to coincide with the opening of the Disney park in California.
In Big Tasty, the developers first tried out a new way of preparing burgers: the bottom bun and patty were hot, and all the other ingredients remained cold, then heating up right in the finished sandwich. In addition, the cardboard box in which Big Tasty is served has never been used before.
The price for this burger in 2013 in Russia is 147 rubles.
If we take a look at the ingredients of Big Tasty, we will see that the recipe is not that complicated. Take a beef cutlet, put a few lettuce leaves on top, a few onion rings, a couple of tomato slices. All this is served in two soft sesame buns. But what is the secret of this rich taste?

All about culinary art...
Big Tasty is one of the most prominent representatives of fast food, which is especially popular among connoisseurs of McDonald's products. This burger necessarily includes the usual sesame bun and a meat cutlet. Emmental cheese, fresh lettuce, onions and tomatoes are also added to it. But the main feature of the sandwich is the spicy Grill sauce.
This delicious quick dish is so filling that even a large adult man can get enough of it. The calorie content of the food is 850 kcal and its weight is 335 g and deals a crushing blow to hunger. This dish is very heavy and is not recommended for consumption by people who lead a healthy lifestyle and watch their figure. Let's look step by step and with photos at how to prepare a big taste in several versions.
Big Tasty Sauce Recipe
For the Big Tasty sandwich recipe we will need:
For cutlets: - 300 g beef; - 300 g pork; - 0.5 tsp salt; - pepper; - a little soy sauce.
You can buy pickled onions for a sandwich at the market, or you can pickle them yourself - it’s easy. Chop the onion and put it in a bowl with vinegar, half water and a couple of teaspoons of sugar for two to three hours.
Ingredients for preparing the Big Tasty sandwich
Naturally, the main thing in this sandwich is a cutlet, or a burger, or a hamburger, or - it doesn’t matter what fancy imported word you call this cutlet, the only difference of which is its round shape.
But the most important thing about a Big Tasty is the sauce. If you think that the sauce presented here is too simple, rest assured, the sauce at the “quick eatery” is even simpler. Moreover, note that this homemade sauce is closer to the American version of “Big N' Tasty”, that is, to the one they eat themselves, and not to the one they poison us with. It must be said that the versions of this dish differ quite greatly depending on the place of its preparation and sale.

Compound
Big Tasty sold in Russia and Europe, as already mentioned, differs from the American version.
We have a bun specially designed only for this product, Big Tasty sauce, fresh onions, iceberg lettuce with larger cuts, tomatoes, Emmental cheese and of course a large beef patty, weighing a third of a pound or about 150 grams.
Big N' Tasty in America is a bun seasoned with ketchup, mayonnaise, fresh onions, two slices of pickled cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce. The meat is smaller in size: a quarter pound, that is, exactly the same as for a Royal Cheeseburger.
We will no longer dwell on the American version and will consider a recipe for a local product.
Bun
Its size according to the McDonald's standard ranges from 119 to 125 millimeters. The composition and taste are no different from other buns. A slightly larger version of the Quarter Pounder.
One box holds 20 buns, and the manufacturer supplies them on a pallet in four towers of 25 boxes each. As a rule, restaurants do not order such a large quantity at the same time and the supplier, already at the central warehouse, sends out the rolls in smaller batches.
A little history
The sauce recipe was kept secret for a long time and was the main feature of McDonald's sandwiches. Visitors were at a loss as to how to make a real big-taste, and invented their own versions. Everything would have continued like this, but the head chef gave fast food fans a fabulous gift - he completely declassified its composition. As it turned out, there was nothing unusual or mysterious in it; all the components can be found in any kitchen at any time. The most mysterious of them is “Liquid Smoke”, which is added to Big Tasty. It gives it a special aroma. This component can be replaced with garlic or onion juice. Otherwise, the soyce remains simple and ordinary. The cook just did not reveal the most important detail - the percentage of how to do it in order to get a real big-tasty sauce. This remains the main intrigue.
There is practically nothing harmful in the sauce itself - all its components are of natural origin, and it itself can be used in any salads and sandwiches instead of the usual mayonnaise or butter. The only problem is its nutritional value - it remains insignificant.
This is a high-calorie sauce, since one of its main ingredients is vegetable oil. But the calorie content can be significantly reduced if you add sour cream or kefir to the sauce instead of mayonnaise.
There are two most common methods of preparation - both are tried and true, in the end they just differ slightly in taste. Choose any recipe for Big Tasty sauce – you can’t go wrong.
Egg – 1 pc. Vegetable oil – 1 tbsp. spoon Mustard – 1 teaspoon (less can be used, the sauce will not be so spicy) Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice – 0.25 teaspoons Pickled cucumbers – 1 pc. Sugar – 0.25 teaspoons Salt – 1 pinch Light ketchup – 0.25 teaspoons
“Liquid smoke” – 6 drops

Calorie content of the dish
The calorie content of a real Big Tasty is no less than 880 Kcal, which gives a person a long-lasting feeling of fullness.
The creators of the burger claim that it brings with it only one benefit, since the composition is of exclusively natural origin.
For example, the same beef from which cutlets are made, although high in calories, is rich in proteins, minerals, amino acids and vitamins. Onions and tomatoes give the dish a fresh and “summer” taste at any time of the year, thereby uplifting your mood, while cheese replenishes calcium reserves in the body.
As for the harm, it lies in the increased concentration of carbohydrates and fats, covering 43% of the daily requirement of the human body for such. This means that Big Tasty is not the best choice for daily snacking and satisfying hunger while dieting.

New Burger King items. McDonald's plagiarism. Double Big King
I’m sitting at the dacha and don’t go outside unless absolutely necessary. I try to order deliveries. Have you been thinking about what to order? I saw Burger King in a well-known delivery aggregator, and I think I’ll order fast food. As it turns out, they have several new products. A couple of some huge Burgers. As far as I understand, they are all made on the basis of Big King. Just increased in size.
Putting it all together
Knowing the composition of Big Tasty and having prepared all its elements yourself, you can begin assembling the burger. There will be eight of them, of course, if you did not initially double the amount of ingredients.
So, for one serving you will need:
- one sesame bun;
- one beef cutlet;
- Iceberg lettuce leaf;
- Emental cheese;
- onion rings and tomato circles;
- Grill sauce.
These ingredients are collected together in a certain sequence. First, each bun is cut in half, placed cut sides on a grill pan, and lightly toasted.
Then all the other ingredients are placed on one of the slices, and only in this order:
- generous layer of sauce;
- a pair of large diameter onion rings;
- lettuce leaf, pre-torn by hand;
- a couple of slices (it’s easier to take slices) of tomato;
- cheese;
- cutlet;
- cheese.
Then the whole thing is covered with a second bun. Big Tasty is ready!
Big Tasty Recipe

Liquid smoke - half a teaspoon. Salt, pepper - a pinch.
How to cook a delicious homemade burger?
First of all, I took up meat. For a more smoky taste, I decided to add bacon to the minced meat. But you don’t have to do this, since it’s not in the original recipe.
Preparing burger patties
I chopped the bacon into small pieces and added it to the minced meat.
Added 1 teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of ground black pepper (if you make it without bacon, you can add a little more salt).
And he mixed the minced meat properly, beating it several times (throwing it forcefully in portions onto the work surface), so that excess air would come out of it. This will make it more elastic and the cutlets will not fall apart when frying. I divided the finished minced meat into 4 portions and began to form cutlets.
I made each cutlet larger by about 25% in diameter than the bun, since it will shrink significantly when frying. The thickness of the cutlet was approximately 1 cm.
Heat the frying pan over high heat, add vegetable oil and fry the cutlets for 4 minutes on each side, turning several times.
I checked the readiness by cutting the cutlet a little.
Prepared toppings
While the cutlets were frying, I prepared the remaining ingredients. I cut the tomatoes into circles, cut the onion into half rings and shredded the iceberg lettuce.
Making sauce for the Big Tasty burger
I also prepared the sauce. I simply mixed all the ingredients that I indicated above until smooth.
As for the buns, it’s better, of course, to make them yourself, but it’s a waste of time, and I’m lazy, so I just bought ready-made buns from Bun Boys. They will perfectly replace the originals. I cut the buns lengthwise and dried them over low heat in a frying pan without adding oil. This is done to prevent the sauce from turning the buns into mush.
All the components are ready, all that remains is to assemble our Big Tasty. This must be done in reverse order. I spread the sauce on the top of the bun. Added onions.
Next comes the cutlet.
And two slices of cheese. It is better to make sure that the cutlet is still hot and the cheese melts a little.
And I completed the picture with the bottom of the bun. I pressed the burger and turned it over.
Bang! The most delicious Big Tasty burger is ready!
PS You probably thought: “What for? It’s easier to go and buy these Big Tasties at McDuck, it will cost the same money.”
And in some ways you will be right. Since I spent about the same amount of money as I would have spent on ready-made burgers. But at the same time, I can say that I still have a lot of ingredients left, such as: liquid smoke, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, half a head of lettuce and even a few slices of cheese. This means that the next time you cook burgers, you will need to buy fewer ingredients. And here we already win about 50% of the cost from each Taystee. Besides, a burger cooked with your own hands always tastes a little more pleasant.)) So my verdict is that it’s definitely worth making a Big Tasty at home.
I can't hold back anymore either. I opened the beer and went to lap up this perfection on both cheeks!)) I’ll tell you that the Big Tasty turned out to be about 90% similar to the original. So if you, like me, love fast food, then cook it at home, you won’t regret it. I can also advise you to prepare homemade cutlets using this recipe, they are also very tasty.
Next time I'll probably try to make a burger like this.))
Bye everyone! Good luck!

Method No. 2
There is another way. This recipe is somewhat different from how it is prepared in the restaurant itself, but it doesn’t lose at all in taste, and even surpasses it in calorie content and nutritional value - it contains fiber and vitamins.
Ingredients
- Mayonnaise – 50 grams
- Sweet paprika – 0.5 teaspoon
- Garlic powder – 0.3 teaspoon
- Onion powder – 0.3 teaspoon
- Mustard – 1 teaspoon
- Cucumber – 1 pickled cucumber
- Apple or grape vinegar – 1 teaspoon
Instead of vinegar, you can use lemon juice.
When making bigtasty sauce, it is important to choose the right taste of cucumbers - the marinade should taste sweet. The cucumbers need to be chopped - you can use a blender, but it is better to grate them on a fine grater - small particles of the cucumber should be felt. In this form they will be ready for further cooking.
