How to Make a Smash Burger Recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound Felton Angus Beef
Avocado Oil
Salt & Pepper
Sliced Cheese: American Cheese, Cheddar or Colby Jack
Optional Toppings: bacon, onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, avocado, mustard, ketchup, mayo
Tools Needed: Heavy Spatula, Cast Iron Skillet, Griddle or Flat Cooking Surface
DIRECTIONS:
Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions. Loosely form into balls with your hands (do not form patties).
Heat cast iron skillet (on grill or stove), griddle, or flat top grill to medium-high heat. Get it hot!
Add oil to heated surface.
In batches if needed, place ground beef ball onto hot skillet.
Using a flat broad spatula, smash burgers flat.
Season with salt and pepper (or your favorite rub).
Cook undisturbed (don’t keep smashing, once is enough) until edges are browned, about 2 minutes.
Flip patties, season with salt and pepper.
Place slice of cheese on top of each burger.
Cook until cheese melts to desired doneness (1 minute for medium-rare).
Serve with all your favorite burger toppings: bacon, onions and condiments.
