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

Start by weighing out 3.5 ounces of minced brisket and chuck steak for each burger and roll them into balls.

2

In a saucepan, add 2 cups of passada, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of raw sugar, 2 teaspoons of Tabasco sauce, a good pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of finely ground black pepper.

3

Stir the mixture over medium heat until everything dissolves and thickens, then add it to a sauce bottle.

4

Set up a 57 centimeter Weber kettle with a hot plate using high direct heat.

5

Fill a chimney starter with briquettes, light them, and once they are fully ashed over, dump them into two charcoal baskets.

6

Place the hot plate over the charcoal and let it warm up for about 10 minutes until it reaches nearly 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

7

Oil the grill with canola oil, being careful of flare-ups.

8

Place the balls of minced meat on the hot plate and listen for the sizzle, indicating it's hot enough.

9

Season the patties with salt, then cover with a piece of baking paper and smash them down with a burger smasher to create a flat patty.

10

Once the patties start showing liquid on top, flip them and place cheese on top.

11

Move the burger buns to the cooler side of the grill to toast them, checking to avoid burning.

12

On the bottom buns, spread some Japanese mayo, then top each with two patties, two pieces of cheese, American mustard, spicy ketchup, and pickles.

13

Cap the burgers with the top buns and serve.
