Title: Smash Burgers
Categories: Beef, Cheese, Breads
Yield: 6 Servings
1/2 ts Neutral oil
2 lb Ground chuck
Salt & black pepper
8 sl Cheese
8 Soft hamburger buns; lightly
- toasted
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomatoes
Condiments, as desired
Add oil or butter to a large cast-iron or stainless
steel skillet and place over medium heat. Gently divide
ground beef into 8 small piles of around 4 ounces each,
and even more gently gather them together into orbs that
are about 2 inches in height. Do not form patties.
Increase heat under skillet to high. Put half the orbs
into the skillet with plenty of distance between them
and, using a stiff metal spatula, press down on each one
to form a burger that is around 4 inches in diameter and
about 1/2" thick. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook without moving until patties have achieved a deep,
burnished crust, a little less than 2 minutes. Use the
spatula to scrape free and carefully turn burgers over.
If using cheese, lay slices on meat.
Continue to cook until meat is cooked through,
approximately a minute or so longer. Remove burgers from
skillet, place on buns and top as desired. Repeat
process with remaining burgers. Serving two hamburgers
on a single bun is not an outrageous option.
