Smash Burger

beef

¼ c. melted butter (divided)

Preheat Blackstone Griddle, flat-top griddle or 12&#39;&#39; cast iron skillet to medium-high heat.

Divide the ground beef into 8 equal sections. Gently form into loose balls, set aside on plate.

Season with beef seasoning. Cook fro 3-4 minutes, flip burgers, sprinkle with seasoning and add a slice of cheese. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until cooked to preferred doneness. Remove from heat and place on toasted buns.

While the burgers are cooking spread more melted butter on other side of griddle (if you are using a cast iron skillet do this after you remove the burgers). Place the buns cut side down on griddle.

Oklahoma Onion Smash Burgers are incredibly delicious and super easy to make on your flat top grill.

Oklahoma Onion Smash Burgers

beef (80/20)

onions

salt

salt and pepper

vegetable oil

Slice onion into paper-thin slices, place into a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of salt and combine—cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Form 6-8 equal-sized ground beef balls. Season tops lightly with salt and black pepper. The onion already contains salt, so do not over season. Place onto a parchment lined pan.

Preheat flat top grill for high heat.

Drain onions of excess liquid. Place them into a clean towel and squeeze out any additional moisture. Transfer to a clean dish.

Lightly oil griddle surface and set down about 1/4 cup of sliced onions with a ground beef ball on top. Smash the ball into the onion, creating a burger patty. Cook for 3-4 minutes, gently turn and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165 degrees F.

Once cooked, assemble burgers and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

The Oklahoma Onion SmashBurger

onions (sliced thin)

Pickles

American Cheese

Brioche buns

Salt

mayo

yellow mustard

sweet relish

hot sauce

pepper

First thing, slice all of the onions using a mandolin. Be sure to slice them as thin as possible. Toss them in a bowl with kosher salt and let sit for 20 minutes. Remove the onions and squeeze all of the excess water from the onions.

During the 20 minute waiting period, roll your ground beef into equally portioned balls. About a 1/4 of a pound per. Place them in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Fire up the griddle by turning the knobs on high, let it heat up for about ten minutes and add some oil if needed.

While the griddle is heating up, make the burger sauce by adding mayo, ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, hot sauce, pepper and salt into a bowl and whisking it.

Add the burger balls onto the hot griddle surface and top them with a handful of the onions. Don’t be shy, the more the better. Smash each one down where the patty is as thin as you can make it and season with your desired seasoning.

Cook for 4 minutes and flip, once flipped, season them and after 2 minutes add the American Cheese on top. Place the top bun on top and the bottom bun on top of the top bun. Close the lid and let it steam for a few minutes.

Remove the bottom bun off the top and add the burger sauce with pickles. Top it with a single patty, or two, and complete the burger.

Serve and enjoy!

Meet the Oklahoma Onion Burger

lb 80/20 ground beef (preferably wagyu)

white onion

Martin’s brand (or similar) potato rolls

Spray oil

At least an hour prior to cooking, start by finely slicing the onion, and placing slices in a bowl. Sprinkle with 2 tsp salt and allow to sit, mixing occasionally for about an hour. This will help draw out excess moisture and help the onions to brown faster. You need to make sure your slices are thin, because the onions are only going to have a few minutes to cook, and if they&#8217;re too chunky they may remain raw in the middle.

Line a tray with greaseproof paper. Divide the meat into 10 portions, loosely forming each portion into a ball, then place onto the lined tray. These can go back into the fridge until about 10-15 minutes before you are ready to use them.

Light your grill and place the flat griddle on top, allowing it to heat to a high temperature.

Place onions in a dishcloth (paper towel will fall apart too easily) and wring them until you&#8217;ve removed the bulk of the moisture. Now, you&#8217;re ready!

Spray the hot griddle with a little oil, and place smalls handful of onions in little stacks, allowing yourself enough room to flip the burgers. I was able to do 5-6 per batch.

After about 3-4 minutes of browning, place a ball of beef on top of each stack and using your turner, slowly but firmly press the ball down onto the onions to form a patty that should be less than 1/2 inch thick. You may need to press them a second time to reach the desired thickness. Repeat until all onion stacks now have a smashed patty on top, and allow to cook a further 2-3 minutes.

Using your turner, get a good solid scrape and flip the burgers to cook the other side. The majority of the onions should have adhered to the beef. Allow to cook on the other side 2-3 minutes. If you prefer your cheese to be meltier, layer it on top of each patty as soon as they are flipped. Otherwise, wait until 30 seconds before you take them off the griddle.

Halve the buns in preparation for stacking, and have them on a tray nearby. Remove the burgers from the grill and stack onto the waiting bun bases. Put the bun top in place, eat and enjoy!

After multiple experiments, I figured out the secret to creating a smoked smashburger, and I’m sharing it with you. Your dreamy, smokey, crispy, beefy burger awaits.

Smoked Smashburger

lb Certified Angus Beef® brand ground beef ((80/20))

cheddar cheese (finely shredded)

brioche buns

tbsp butter

canola oil

white onion (thinly sliced)

bourbon

dill pickle slices

Divide the beef into four equal parts and roll into balls.

Smoke at 200F degrees for 30 minutes.

Heat a griddle to medium-high. Add a half-cup of cheese to the griddle. Spread it into a 4-inch circle.

Let it cook for 90 seconds. When the edges brown, it&#x27;s ready. Gently remove it from the griddle with a spatula, and set it aside.

Repeat with the remaining shredded cheese.

While the burgers are smoking, make the cheese crisps

Spread each bun half with butter. Toast on the griddle, butter-side-down, for 30-60 seconds, until golden.

Toast the buns

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the griddle. Add the sliced onions. Saute for 5-6 minutes.

Pour 2 tablespoons of bourbon (or water) onto the pile of onions. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until softened.

Caramelized bourbon onions

After the burgers are smoked, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the griddle. Add the smoked balls to the griddle, and smash them as flat as you can using a bacon press or spatula.

Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.

Flip. Top each patty with American cheese. Continue cooking, until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes.

Place a cheese crisp on top of one of the patties. Top with the other patty.

Layer on a pile of onions and the top bun.

Place 5 pickles on the bottom bun, and add the patty tower on top.

Repeat for the second burger.

Smashburger time

Hello....You mentioned the temp to smoke the hamburger balls but you didn't mention what temp for when you smashed the burgers down?  Seems like you would have to crank the heat up to 375 or 400 degrees, no?

This recipe is so good!  Best burger we ever smoked!

Upgrade your burger game with this classic smash burger recipe, which of course comes topped off with all the fixings. 

Classic Smash Burger With All the Fixings Recipe

potato buns

Kosher salt,

black pepper,

tomato

pickles

lettuce

Use your hands to shape the beef into 4 balls. Set aside.

Peel and thinly slice onions using a mandoline or sharp knife.

Heat a lightly oiled cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Toast the buns face-down in the skillet until golden brown. Set aside.

Pile a small mound of onions in the hot skillet over medium heat. Top with a ball of beef.

Season beef generously with salt and pepper.

Use two spatulas to press firmly on the beef to flatten into a thin disk. (You can optionally place a square of parchment paper on top of the beef before pressing.)

Cook until browned on the edges, then flip.

When the burger is cooked through and the cheese is melted, transfer to the bottom of a toasted bun. Repeat the cooking process with all beef, onions, and cheese.

Top the burger with sliced tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce.

Spread special burger sauce or condiment of choice over the top bun, if desired.

Place the top bun on top of the smash burger and serve immediately.

A smash burger is a thin, buttery burger with crunchy lacey edges on a buttered and somewhat limp bun. DELICIOUSNESS!

Smashburger Recipe

burger rolls

butter (, softened)

beef (20%+ fat)

Kosher salt & Freshly Ground Pepper

prefered cheese

white onion (, chopped)

Butter each burger bun with the softened butter, set aside.

Heat the griddle to high heat (400°F).

Coat a small area with cooking spray or other neutral oil with a smoke point and add the onions, moving around until soft and opaque, with a little char, about 2-3 minutes. Move to the side or off the griddle entirely.

Divide the ground beef into 8 2-ounce balls.

Working in batches (unless you have a large griddle), place 4 of the balls onto the hot surface and immediately smash with a strong, flat spatula. Do not move, just let them sizzle. Cook for about 30-45 seconds. Season from 12 inches above with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Edges should be slightly charred and lacy.

Using the spatula, scrape up the patties and flip. Top with your desired cheese and the sauteed onions, cooking for another 30 seconds.

Remove to a plate.

Immediately, place buttered burger buns down on the hot griddle to char for about 30 seconds or until browned. I actually do this to both sides to get the butter and burger grease effect all over, but that is up to you.

Remove and assemble burgers, 2 patties per burger bun.

Add any desired hamburger condiments.
