McDonald’s is bringing back its fan-favorite Aussie Angus beef burger in all its restaurants in Australia for a limited time only.
The epic burger is made with 100 percent Aussie beef, combined with Jack cheese, bacon, lettuce, beetroot, and crunchy, golden onion rings- all in a soft bun, topped with House Grill Sauce and garlic mayo.
Tim Kenward, marketing director, McDonald’s Australia, described the burger as tailor-made for the Australian summer with its unique sauce combos, crunchy onion rings, and beetroot slice.
The Aussie Angus is the latest from Macca’s summer campaign following the launch of its limited-edition Budgy Smuggler range, which features three swimwear styles in ‘Smugglers’ for males and one-piece and two-piece ‘Smugglettes’ for females, as well as a bucket hat design.
Macca’s biggest ever summer campaign also includes the Tim Tam McFlurry, Big Mac bacon and onion rings with BBQ sauce, and the chicken Big Mac.
