Stovetop Smash Burgers
Here's a "loose" copycat of the delicious smash burgers!
Ingredients
BURGER SAUCE:
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
BURGERS:
- 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon vegetable, canola or olive oil
- 4 slices American cheese, divided
- 4 hamburgers buns, toasted
- 4 red or green leaf lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, cored and sliced thinly
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion, rinsed
- ¼ cup dill pickle chips
Instructions
PREPARE THE SAUCE:
- In a medium bowl, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together. Cover and chill.
PREPARE THE BURGERS:
- Wrap the bottom of a Dutch oven with foil. Divide the ground beef into 4 lightly packed balls. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until just smoking. Transfer 2 beef balls to the skillet. Using the prepared pot, press the patties until they are about 4-inches in diameter; set the pot aside. Sprinkle the patties with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers, without moving, until well-browned on the first side, 60 to 90 seconds. Flip the patties and top with 1 slice of cheese. Cover and continue to cook until browned on the second side, about 60 seconds. Transfer the burgers to a platter and cover to keep warm. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of fat from the skillet and repeat with the remaining 2 beef balls and 2 slices of cheese.
- Spread each bun with 2 tablespoons of burger sauce. Serve the burgers on buns, topped with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. Pass extra sauce separately.
