How to make McDonald’s Big Mac sauce?

It’s actually a whole lot easier to make your favourite Big Mac sauce than you think. This ‘secret’ recipe has actually been available online for a while after it was leaked in 2017. To make simply, combine all of the special ingredients in a mixing bowl and enjoy.

Naming The Big Mac

Did you know that The Big Mac was actually first called ‘The Aristocrat’? It was introduced in 1967 in Pittsburgh before expanding to every corner of the globe. After customers had difficulty pronouncing The Aristocrat, the burger was titled The Blue Ribbon Burger. The name didn’t resonate with the brand so they decided to name it the Big Mac, hitting the stands for just 47 cents.

Admittedly the ingredients do differ oh so slightly from each country but the most important element remains the same: the ‘big mac sauce.’

What to expect on an Aussie Big Mac

On the infamous Big Mac, you’ll get two all-beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a toasted sesame seed bun. Plus don’t forget McDonald's Big Mac sauce, which is a classic twist on Thousand Island dressing.

How to make Big Mac Sauce

Before you head out and buy your own special sauce here’s how you can make your own from home for a fraction of the cost and a portion of the time.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp gherkin relish
  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method:

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine mayonnaise and vinegar.
  2. Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder and white pepper and mix well.
  3. Stir through sugar and salt.
  4. Lastly, add gherkin relish and crushed mustard seeds and sit until well combined.

Makes 3/4 of a cup (if we were you we’d make double!). Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
