Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tbsp beef tallow sub butter
- 1 tsp salt & pepper
- 1 tbsp burger sauce
Instructions
- Portion out your ground beef into 3 oz pieces.
- Form your patties into ball shapes, and then use a burger press to smash your burgers nice and thin. I like to use parchment paper sheets between the meat and the burger press so they don't stick together.
- Season your burger patties with salt & pepper or your favorite rub. I like to use Meat Church Holy Cow for smash burgers.
- Heat up skillet or griddle to high heat. I like to put a flat-top griddle on top of my Weber gas grill to make my smash burgers.
- Toast your buns. Apply a spoonful of beef tallow or butter to your griddle, and then toast your buns for a minute or so, until golden brown, and set aside.
- Add a little more beef tallow or butter to your griddle, and then place down your burger patties. Press them down firmly with a spatula so the entire surface area of the patty is touching the griddle. Sear on the first side for about 90 seconds.
- Flip the smash burgers onto the second side, and immediately add your cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, about 30-60 seconds.
- Remove burgers from griddle, and add place on buns. Add your favorite toppings, and ENJOY!
