Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Cooking the Burger

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Form the certified Angus beef into a loose ball and then smash it down onto the hot surface to create a patty. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Cook the patty for about 3 minutes until a crust forms. Flip the patty, add the slice of American cheese on top, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 3

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of a toasted bun, place the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of beefsteak tomato, a leaf of lettuce, and drizzle with special sauce. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.

  2. 4

    Serve with Sides

    Serve the smash burger with a side of French fries, house-smoked ketchup, and garlic aioli.
