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

Take the top and bottom off the onion and slice it thin from pole to pole.

2

In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup beer, 1/2 cup flour, 1/8 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon Cattleman's Grill Butcher House Brine.

Add 1 cup of sliced onions to the batter and coat them well.

4

Heat oil on the grill to about 400° for frying the onions.

5

Drop the coated onions into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping as needed.

6

Cook 4 slices of bacon on the griddle until browned, using a rack over a pan for best texture.

7

Turn the griddle down to 425° before cooking the burgers.

8

Add avocado oil to the griddle to prevent sticking and place quarter pound beef balls on the griddle.

9

Smash the beef balls with parchment and a grill press to flatten them.

Season the top of the burgers with Cattleman's Grill Roadhouse seasoning.

11

Cook the burgers for less than 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the beef is cooked through.

Steam burger buns in a foil pan wrapped in a damp paper towel on the grill.

Assemble the burger starting with Duke's mayo on the bottom bun, followed by pickled jalapenos, burger patties, bacon, and Big Rick's Chipotle barbecue sauce.
