Smash Burger Recipe

Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently form each one into a ball. Avoid overworking the meat to keep it tender.

Step 1

Preheat your griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Spread butter onto the buns and lightly toast them, then set them aside.

Step 2

Place each meatball on the griddle. Flatten sharply into a patty using a strong spatula. Season with salt and pepper.

STEP 3

Set the cheese-topped patties on the bottom buns. Add toppings if desired. Cover each with the top buns and serve immediately.
