Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground Beef 80/20
- 3 Tablespoons Butter (divided)
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese
- 4 Hamburger Buns
- 4 Pieces Leaf Lettuce
- 1 Tomato sliced
- 1/2 Red Onion peeled and slice
Instructions
-
-
Divide the beef into 8 balls that are approximately 3 oz each. Place them in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them.
-
Preheat the griddle over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
-
-
-
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter onto the grill and spread it around with a spatula to melt it. Place the buns on top of the butter on the grill for 2 minutes to toast them and then set them aside while you prepare the burger.
-
Place the remaining butter on the griddle. Move it around to melt it.
-
Place 4 of the beef balls on the griddle in the melted butter.
-
Top each one with a piece on parchment paper and then firmly press down to smash the beef into a thin patty with either a burger press or a large spatula and then discard the parchment paper.
-
Season with the patties with garlic salt and the pepper.
-
Cook the patties for 2 minutes until the juices in the beef start to raise to the top and the color starts to change.
-
Scrape under the patty to get under the caramelized parts and flip the patty. Once flipped, do not smash down the patties again.
-
Cook for 1 more minute and place a piece of cheese on 2 of the patties (half of them) to melt.
-
Once the cheese is melted, top each of those patties with the other patties without cheese.
-
Move those patties to a separate platter and continue this process until all the patties have been prepared.
-
It’s time to assemble your burgers. Place the lettuce, sliced tomatoes and slice red onions on the bottom bun.
-
-
Add the double patty on top and top with the the top of the hamburger buns.
-
Then the smash burgers are ready to enjoy!
Notes
When preparing the balls with the beef, do not pack them together. Loosely roll them into balls so that they are easier to smash.
