This mouthwatering crispy smashburger features juicy beef patties with a perfect crust, layered with cheese, and topped with a tangy special sauce on toasted buns, making it the ultimate indulgent burger experience.
1. Divide the ground beef into six equal portions, rolling them into balls about the size of a golf ball to a mandarin orange. Gently compress to remove excess air, then chill them uncovered in the fridge.
2. Whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
3. Preheat the griddle to medium-high. Lightly oil the surface and toast the buns, top side down, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
4. Crank the griddle to high and add a little more oil. Place the chilled beef balls on the hot surface, then use a heavy burger press or sturdy spatula to smash each one firmly into a thin patty. Season with salt and let them sizzle for 2–3 minutes, until the edges are browned and crispy. Flip, top with cheese, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until melted.
5. Spread the special sauce generously on the toasted buns. Add the patties and layer on your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
