What is a Loose Meat Sandwich?

At its most basic, a loose meat sandwich is simply ground beef on a bun–though there are all sorts of delicious variations. Most recipes call for a blend of onion, horseradish, mustard powder, ketchup, pepper, and garlic, as well as dill pickles to top. The key is to keep the beef loose and relatively dry so it doesn't turn your bun into a soggy mess.

History of this Sandwich

The loose meat sandwich was invented in 1926 by Bob Wian. It was a hit from the start and quickly became a regional fast-food favourite. The key to the sandwich's deliciousness is the ground beef, which is chopped to order and served on a fresh bun or toast bread. The burgers can be customized with cheese, pickles, onions, mustard, and/or chilli sauce.

Marinate beef mince for loose meat sandwich

Here is how:

Marinate the ground beef with salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and chilli garlic sauce for at least 30 minutes. For best results, make a paste of ginger and garlic in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and then add to the ground beef.

Add the butter marinated ground beef to a large skillet on medium-high heat. Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes. I always use butter to sear ground chuck because it gives the meat a nice buttery flavour.

Break the meat clumps apart with the spoon and mix it so that all the meat gets seared, about 2 to 3 minutes more.

Add chopped onions and continue cooking until the onions are translucent about 6-8 minutes.

Build the sandwich by placing the hot loose meat on the bottom bun top with pickles and top bun. You can always go crazy with your favourite toppings on Loose Meat Sandwich. Try dill pickle slices, red onion, tomato, mayonnaise, and cheese.
