Smash Burger

Cultural Context

The Smash Burger is a popular American fast-food item known for its crispy edges and juicy interior. Originating from the classic diner culture, it has gained popularity for its simplicity and flavor. The technique of smashing the patty onto the cooking surface allows for better caramelization, enhancing the overall taste. This dish is often enjoyed at backyard barbecues, casual gatherings, and as a quick meal option.

1

Roll hamburger meat into four large meatballs and place them on a griddle.

2

Use a hamburger press to smash the meatballs down onto the griddle, holding for about 10 seconds for a good sear.

3

Slide the press off the burger using the grease from the burger to prevent sticking.

4

Cook the burgers for about 2 to 3 minutes before seasoning with salt and pepper.

5

Add onion rings and jalapenos to the griddle after the initial cooking time.

6

Flip the burgers after another 2 to 3 minutes and cook the other side.

7

Adjust the griddle heat, keeping the bottom half on medium to medium-low and the top half on high.

8

Remove the burgers from the griddle once cooked and prepare to build the burger.

9

Spread mayonnaise on romaine lettuce leaves and layer with mustard, onion slices, tomato, the cooked burger, jalapenos, pickle slices, and ketchup.

10

Melt cheese in the microwave and pour it over the assembled burger.

11

Cut the burger in half to reveal the cheese pull and ensure the lettuce wraps are large enough to hold everything together.
