McDonald’s has revealed that it is making a major change in its recipe for Big Mac and other burgers with beef patties. This would be the first time in 50 years that the fast-food chain is modifying its iconic burgers in the United Kingdom.
According to Verdict Food Service, the new burgers will be launched in the U.K. and Ireland in mid-this month. Likewise, McDonald’s will introduce the new beefburger recipe across its stores in the region after its recipe has remained the same for five decades.
Taste Transformation of McDonald’s Burgers
It was reported that all of the restaurant’s burger options, such as the Big Mac, classic cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder, and other variants, will be altered and transformed into better versions.
McDonald’s UK is also making this remarkable change to mark the chain’s 50th-anniversary celebration in the region. Moreover, introducing the new recipe aims to offer customers juicier beef patties that are seared more tightly on the grill to enhance the flavor and retain their size.
Changes to Expect in the Beef Burgers
The new burgers at McDonald’s UK stores will include white onions in the grilling process. These will be placed on top of the patties as they are seared on the grill to enhance the color and add more charred flavor to the beef.
Metro UK reported that McDonald’s UK made the change after its units in Australia and the U.S. also underwent the same change and achieved commercial success with it. As for the toppings, the burgers will only have fresh lettuce that will be added straight from the fridge so they will be served crispy. Lastly, the bun will also be changed into “buttery brioche style.”
‘We are constantly innovating and improving our menu and we found that a collection of complementary small improvements to the iconic burgers make a significant difference to the flavor,” McDonald’s UK and Ireland’s chief restaurant officer, Gareth Pearson, said in a statement. “Not only have we introduced new kitchen technology but we have also retrained all 177,000 crew members on these new procedures to enable them to serve our best burgers yet.”
