Description

Have you tried Butter Smashburgers? Smash burgers are ground chuck smashed on a hot griddle with melted cheese topped with pickles, onions, and mustard sauce, all in a bun. You won’t find a taste like this anywhere else!

 

Smash burgers are a new trend that has recently gained popularity. The owner of a Smashburger restaurant accidentally discovered this technique, which involves pressing the ground beef ball on the hot grill to produce a much better burger than a regular burger.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • Unsalted butter 4 tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 Burger buns
  • 4 Cheese slices
  • Toppings (pickles, onions, mustard sauce)
  • 3 tbsp mayo
  • ½ tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Notes

  1. Form the beef into loose balls and place them on the hot skillet. Use a heavy spatula or burger press to smash them down immediately.
  2. Cold butter is necessary for adding to ground beef because the butter will add more flavor and juices when melted during cooking.
  3. Over Mixing butter with ground beef can make the patties hard.
  4. Use beef with a high fat content, ideal is 80/20 or 75/25 blend.
  5. Preheat a cast iron skillet until it’s very hot. A hot skillet is necessary for a good sear and crispy burger crust.
