Easy Homemade Smash Burger Recipe
Welcome back to Guga Foods everybody! If you're a fan of steaks, you know I've tried them all. But today, I want to share with you the burger that changed my life forever. This easy homemade smash burger recipe is a game-changer! With just a few elements, it's all about getting the ratios right. I recommend using 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef to ensure the perfect texture and flavor. The secret to success lies in the technique - you need to get the heat right. Cooking over hot charcoal or a powerful gas stove is crucial to achieving the desired browning and the Maillard effect. And don't forget to use the right tools, like a burger flipper and spatula, to make the process smooth and hassle-free. Finally, topping it off with American processed cheese and serving it on brioche buns adds the perfect finishing touch. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Check out the video to see how to make this mouthwatering burger and get ready to experience the best burger of your life. Don't forget to let me know in the comments if you want to see a Wagyu smash burger next. Cheers and enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 80% lean, 20% fat ground beef
- American processed cheese
- Brioche buns
- Ketchup
- Mayo
- Yellow mustard
- Brazilian hot sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
Cooking steps:
- Preheat your grill, making sure it's hot enough for maximum browning.
- Divide the ground beef into 2.5-ounce balls and shape them into patties, being careful not to compress the meat too much.
- Season the patties with salt and pepper once they're on the grill.
- Cook the patties for a few seconds on each side until they develop a well-pronounced maillard reaction and are perfectly browned.
- In the meantime, prepare the sauce by mixing ketchup, mayo, yellow mustard, Brazilian hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
- Once the patties are ready, melt a slice of American processed cheese on each patty.
- Toast the brioche buns on the grill until slightly crispy.
- Assemble your burger by spreading the sauce on the bottom bun, placing the cheese-topped patty on top, and adding any desired toppings.
- Serve the burger and enjoy the incredible flavors!
