Ingredients
- •- 1 premium beef frankfurter (high-quality brand recommended)
- •- 1 standard white hot dog bun
- •- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- •- 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil (for griddle)
- •- Kosher salt, to taste
- •- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- •- Optional toppings: mustard, ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, diced onions, sautéed mushrooms, jalapeños, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, green peppers, grilled onions, A.1. sauce
Instructions
- 1Heat a flat griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until hot. Add cooking oil and spread evenly across the surface.
- 2Place the beef frankfurter on the heated griddle. Cook for 4-5 minutes, rotating every minute to ensure even browning on all sides, until the hot dog develops a light char and caramelized exterior.
- 3Meanwhile, spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter generously on the interior of each bun half. Once the frankfurter is nearly done, place both bun halves butter-side down on the griddle beside the hot dog.
- 4Toast the buns for 1-2 minutes until they turn golden brown with crispy edges and the butter creates a rich, toasted aroma. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- 5Remove the toasted bun halves from the griddle and place on a serving plate. Transfer the cooked hot dog into the bun immediately while both are hot.
- 6Season lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Add your choice of toppings generously, Five Guys-style.
