6 Steps to Make a Smashburger!

For those who want to try Smashburger's infamous dish at home, they can do so by following these simple steps:

• Step 1: The main idea behind smash burgers is to take a large handful of loosely packed minced beef so one doesn't wind up with a beef puck. Then, pound it into a hot, flat surface (cast iron pans work perfectly).
• Step 2: Use a spatula to squash the lump of steak as flat as one can dare.
• Step 3: When the patty has been flattened, salt the top and set aside to sizzle and cook for a couple of minutes. Under no circumstances should one try to move or disrupt your patties.
• Step 4: With a metal spatula, carefully pry one's way under the patties once the color has begun to creep up the side after it has been cooking for a few minutes. There may be some resistance from the crust that has formed underneath, but one can remove as much of that crust as they want.
• Step 5: When the burger is turned over, appreciate the gorgeous Maillard-made crust that has developed. Add more salt, then a few pieces of your preferred cheese. For easier cheese melting, cover the pan and heat for a few more minutes.
• Step 6: Once cooked, place in a toasted bun, top it with bacon and a dollop of one's preferred burger sauce, and enjoy!
