How do you make smash burgers?
To make smash burgers, follow these steps:
Form the beef into thin, round patties that are slightly larger than the buns.
Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the patties in the skillet and use a spatula to press down firmly on the center of each patty, until it is about ¼ inch thick.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until crispy and browned.
Toast the buns and assemble the burgers with toppings of your choice (e.g. cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.).
Serve and enjoy!
