Method

1. Rinse the pickles under the tap before slicing; it washes off a good part of the brine. Heat the oil in a 10-inch (25cm) skillet over high heat. Press the beef into two thin patties with a spatula and leave for 90 seconds, until a lacy brown crust forms. Flip and cook 1 minute more, until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
2. Mix the yogurt, ketchup and Dijon for the sauce. Build the bowl with the romaine, beans, tomato, the beef broken into pieces, cheddar, pickles and sauce, and season with the salt and pepper.
