THE SMASH BURGER Recipe You’ve Been Waiting For | By Thomas Straker
Recipe Information
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.
ground beef
🥗Healthier: ground turkey
💰Cheaper: ground pork
Ground turkey is lower in fat, while ground pork is often less expensive.
burger buns
🥗Healthier: whole grain buns
💰Cheaper: white bread
Whole grain buns offer more fiber, while white bread can be a budget-friendly alternative.
Delicately mould the beef into 100g spheres and set aside on a prep tray.
Slice a white onion into 1cm thick rings and set aside 1 ring per burger.
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne pepper, pickle juice, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Blend or mash the pickle and garlic into a paste, then mix it into the sauce.
Taste and adjust the sauce to your preference.
Slice the potato bun and a pickle, and set aside.
Oil a cast iron plate or pan and set to high heat.
Oil and salt the onion, fry until charred, then flip to char the other side.
Fry the insides of both halves of the potato bun until brown, then lightly sear the other side.
Add more oil to the plate/pan and generously salt and pepper the beef spheres.
Place the beef spheres on the plate/pan and oil the bottom of a spatula, pressing until each patty is about 1cm thick.
Once you see juices bubbling on the patty’s surface and a dark crust underneath, flip the patties and immediately apply cheese to each.
Add a splash of water to the pan and cover to steam the cheese.
Once the cheese has melted and the other side of the patty has developed a deep crust, add an onion slice and stack the patties.
Place the top of the potato bun on top and steam for 30 seconds.
Remove from heat, plate the bottom bun with sauce and pickles, and assemble the burger.
