Perfect Smash Burgers in a Frying Pan
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.
Cut the prime New York strip into small chunks for grinding.
Freeze the beef for 30 to 45 minutes before chopping to help with grinding.
Grind the beef starting with a larger grind, then switch to a smaller grind for better blending.
Weigh out quarter pound patties, rolling them loosely without compacting too tightly.
Prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Cholula hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Brush the burger buns with mayonnaise and toast them in a hot pan, pressing down with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
Place the burger balls in the hot pan and smash them down with a spatula or burger smasher.
Season the burgers with salt and let them cook for about two minutes without flipping.
Check for a crust forming on the edges before flipping the burgers.
Use a fish spatula to flip the burgers, scraping up the crispy bits from the pan.
Add American cheese on top of the burgers and cover with a lid to steam for 20-30 seconds until melted.
Wipe out excess grease from the pan with a paper towel before cooking the next batch of burgers.
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining burger balls, adding cheese and steaming again.
Assemble the burgers by stacking the patties on the buns and adding toppings like raw onion, pickles, and Coleman's mustard.
